Your morning adorable: Baby Asian elephant at the Berlin Zoo
Ko Raya, a five-day-old female Asian elephant, made her big debut yesterday at the Berlin Zoo. She's the third offspring of her 22-year-old mother, Pang Pha. Her father is 15-year-old Victor.
Ko Raya is named for an island in Thailand. She weighed about 370 pounds at birth.

Domesticating any animal is wrong, but because the Asian elephant is endangered this is a beautifull thing. The baby is adorable.
