The internet has done some incredible things for society over the years, but still its greatest accomplishment is providing the world with adorable photos of animals. The latest comes courtesy of the Fort Worth Zoo, who recently shared photos of their newest baby elephant. The five month old elephant quickly went viral, thanks to photos of it playing in its habitat.
Ever since the Fort Worth Zoo’s newest baby elephant was born, they have been sharing details on the elephant’s growth with their followers. The elephant, Brazos, is now 5 months old, and recently hit 740 pounds. According to the viral post, Brazos “spends his days exploring, venturing farther away from mom, spending time with Angel in the main habitat, getting plenty of practice picking things up with his trunk and learning new tasks during training.”
The photos quickly spread online as many are now obsessed with the growing elephant. In the photos, Brazos can be seen laying and rolling on the ground, according to CW 33. Soon enough Brazos will be all bigger, ignoring his parents and wanting to be accepted as an adult elephant.
