Amazing video about Mr Shuffles the baby elephant.

I don’t often post this often in a day but the mood on MM today has been a little more heated than I would like so I wanted to throw something heart-warmingly beautiful into the mix.

I am a little bit obsessed with Mr Shuffles, the ‘miracle’ baby elephant that was born alive one week ago after being declared dead in his mother’s womb following a 9 day labour.

Here is Mr Shuffles falling into the water at Taronga zoo and being saved by his mother and the other elephants. Watch it.

You can see the unedited footage here.

Here is a story about his birth…

And here’s some more footage of him taking his first steps…

Lord, I could watch clips of Mr Shuffles all day…..
