It's a Girl! Elephant Baby Debuts Today
Little Suri Cruise might be the most elusive baby in Hollywood, but here in St. Louis we like to show off our bundles of joy.
The newest addition to the pachyderm nursery at the famous Saint Louis Zoo makes her debut today in The River's Edge habitat. The yet-to-be-named darling weighed in at 341 pounds at her birth on August 2.
Her mother, Ellie, and her aunties will be welcoming visitors along with proud papa, Raja -- the first elephant to be born at the Saint Louis Zoo, 13 years ago.
Learn more on the Zoo's web site. (UPDATE: The baby's name has been selected. It's Maliha, which means "strong" and "beautiful." The Asian name reflect's the elephant's native heritage and was chosen by a popular vote of Zoo visitors.)
