There are few things in the world as cute as a baby animal… except maybe seeing a baby animal play around and be goofy the same way a human kid would. Babies of all species really do have a lot in common.
Case in point: The baby elephant at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas in the video below, who is having the time of her life getting all her energy out. Talk about some zoomies!
The zoo’s official TikTok account shared the new footage of baby Lady Bird on Tuesday, November 4, where she can be seen truly living her best life.
She’s running all over the place, tiny tail wagging, and getting as dirty as she can everywhere she goes — just like she should be. “Baby elephant zoomies in full swing! Still perfecting those log-moving skills!” says the caption on the video.
Unsurprisingly, everyone is in love with this little one after seeing the video that was taken by Gabby, one of the zookeepers.
“They’re too pure for this world,” one commenter wrote. Honestly, I couldn’t agree more!

All About Lady Bird the Baby Elephant
As you might have guessed from her tiny size, Lady Bird is a pretty new addition to the Fort Worth Zoo, and yes, she’s kind of a big deal.
According to the zoo’s website, Lady Bird’s mom is an elephant named Bluebonnet, who was the first to ever be born at the zoo back in 1998. She welcomed her baby on August 18, 2025, and at birth, she already weighed a very impressive 250 pounds! Lady Bird’s dad is an elephant named Romeo, and she also has a 3-year-old brother named Brazos.
After a period of private, early bonding with her mama, Lady Bird later joined the rest of the Asian elephants at their habitat in the zoo, Elephant Springs.
During a contest to name the new baby, 18,000 people voted to name her Lady Bird, in honor of first lady Lady Bird Johnson.
It’s too cute to watch this little one grow (and play) at the zoo. More videos and updates, please!
