DALLAS - Dallas Zoo visitors got their first look at a 2-month-old baby elephant.
Okubili spent Tuesday morning exploring every log and stick around his habitat as mom, Mlilo, kept an eye on her baby.
The zoo said the two African elephants will make regular appearances in the Giants of the Savanna exhibit as long as the weather cooperates, and the little elephant’s mother feels comfortable going outside.
