In September, the Fort Worth Zoo announced the birth of the first female elephant calf born at the zoo since 2013, and people were instantly smitten. The zoo even asked fans to help name her, and the winning name was Lady Bird, after the beloved Texas First Lady known for her love of nature and wildflowers.<\/p>\n
Since then, the zoo has shared several videos of Lady Bird learning how to be an elephant, each one cuter than the last. In this clip, she\u2019s working on finding her voice, and her tiny, adorable trumpet is truly music to our ears!<\/p>\n
Talk about cuteness overload! She’s an adorable mess with straw in her hair. She was trying to decide if she wanted to check out the camera or show off, and she did both! In the caption,\u00a0the zoo\u00a0shared that it was Lady Bird’s caretaker, Christine, who caught the cute clip, and we’re so glad she did!<\/p>\n
