St. Louis Zoo Melts Hearts with New Baby Elephant Jet Photos

The St. Louis Zoo has been busy with its adorable latest addition to the Asian Elephant family.

Jet, born to mom Jade, was delivered safely on November 23rd and is everything you could imagine. Adorable is curious, playful, and growing.

He's had his first bath with his mom Jade, he's exploring daily and bonding with his mom away from the public. There are no dates as to when Jet will be available to the public, most likely after the winter months. I can't wait to see this "little" guy. I love elephants and a baby elephant is just the cutest animal I can think of.
