Haha, I love the giant bags of what appear to be essentially the same type of litter shavings we use for the bunnies. With 2 of them now we may to ping ozron and ask who their supplier for the bulk size bags is.

That is the saddest sound I've ever heard! Poor baby missing his mama! :(

He is quite adorable though.

I was sitting here, shouting at the screen, "Rose-Tu! How could you?!?! Your poor child!!!"

I think the sound of a baby elephant wailing is worse than a screaming bunny. :(

They are bonding quite nicely now. Today we were able to see him nursing on Mom with his ears and tail wagging!! It was so cute!

Hearing his little mournful cry for his Mom was heart wrenching. I'm so glad it appears to be all working out for the little guy.

Except now one of the animal rights groups is raising a stink about him being raised in a zoo. Umm, his Mom is in the zoo. I'm afraid the want to set him free like Keiko, cause that worked out so well for them. Don't get me wrong I would have been thrilled if Keiko could have returned to the wild and lived a happy normal life but .....you know.

Oh, good grief. If he were captured in the wild and brought to the zoo, I can understand being upset over it. But, this is the life he was born into. Cats and dogs used to be wild at some point too...

I'm so glad to hear that they are bonding, I know the staff 'could' raise him but it's so much better for him for mom to be there. That video was so sad....poor little guy. Do we know his name yet?

I admire the intent of the animal rights groups, but sometimes they just aren't thinking. You take a baby elephant, born in a zoo, and you just can't release him. Maybe he could be trained to survive, but he needs to belong to a herd, doesn't he? And they likely won't accept him.

Not cool. Keep an eye on him, and if he starts showing stress, find another solution for him but releasing him is unlikely to be a happy solution, sadly. Seems like it'd be great, but there are more variables involved.

Cute baby! I'm glad his momma is warming up to him. I feel bad for him, being separated.

It's very cute though - we wiggles his ears and everything. But, then he cries. And cries. And cries.

If you watch it without sound, you'll be fine. ;)
