a new mouth to feed

Just 3 days old, here is a behind the scenes look at the little girl elephant born Oct. 2, 2013 at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, NM.  She is having a great time with her maternal herd - here you see big sister Daizy (4 years old) and Mom Rozie keeping an eye on the new calf.  Also hanging out, but not in this photo, is her grandmother Alice.
