Cute Overload! :)

Lil' Hoser

Check out this tiny hoser over at the Oregon zoo. According to Sender-Inner Lauren I., they're naming the little guy today! We'll be sure to check back. I'd like to suggest: "José".

Unless it's a girl, then maybe "Phannie" or something?!

ZOMG I could watch this all day long!: emudoug; | Sep 12, 2008 at 11:25 AM

Awwwwwww!!! I remember when this little guy was born. It was a difficult birth, and Rose-tu, who had never seen a birth, got confused and frightened and started kicking the calf. They had to remove him, and he was inconsolable. There was a video of him crying for his mom, it was heartbreaking!! How wonderful that everything seems to have worked out so well! Elephants are the coolest, especially the babies. =): Pam; | Sep 12, 2008 at 11:34 AM

Yay! I love when elephants look happy in zoos, with animals that smart they can get depressed when bored. The grownups clearly are in love with the new baby!: Monique; | Sep 12, 2008 at 01:41 PM

I still haven't joined the throngs to go see him :( --maybe this weekend.: PJ; | Sep 12, 2008 at 01:43 PM

They named her/him Samudra.: kathotdog; | Sep 12, 2008 at 02:10 PM

Name's Samudra, Hindi for "lord of the ocean" 'cause he likes taking baths so much. :o): Doobie; | Sep 12, 2008 at 02:13 PM

And it's a boy !:) Little Sam. YAY: Mary (the first); | Sep 12, 2008 at 02:54 PM

Baby elephants are sooo cute!: carmen; | Sep 12, 2008 at 02:56 PM

PJ we tried to go see him last wednesday and the line was 3-1/2 hours long! they were letting 30 people at a time in the viewing area. needless to say we did not wait in the line, in the hot sun, with all those stroller peoples , what a nightmare for a mom! I felt bad for them. ugh! i hate to say it but i think vids like this give you an even better look at him. I LOVE the way hes touching and testing everything and all his lil body parts to see how they feel/smell/work. and his mama and auntie are the BEST!: scooterpants; | Sep 12, 2008 at 02:58 PM

Well evidently he's already gotten his name. I had an alternate name suggestion ready. Maybe we could save this for "the next baby [girl] elephant who loves both dust baths & regular baths": "Dusty"!!! [which also brings to mind, Dusty Springfield, an appropriately girly, bubbly personality ...]: leslie; | Sep 12, 2008 at 03:06 PM

I think Peanut would have been a great name! Good one.: Cat; | Sep 12, 2008 at 03:10 PM

Look at that lil trunk flopping around! I'd name him "Tromboner".: gravyboat; | Sep 12, 2008 at 03:11 PM
