YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe Smithsonian Zoo in Washington, D.C., says it will introduce a baby asian elephant calf to the public next Wednesday, in honor of Earth Day.
The baby female, named Linh Mai, was born on Feb. 2. Zoo keepers have kept her compound closed to the public for privacy. They say Linh Mai’s mother initially showed some aggression toward the calf after she was born, but that she's had positive interactions with other adult female elephants.
Linh Mai is the zoo’s first baby elephant in almost 25 years.
