1 Hour Old Elephant Calf

An elephant may be the largest land mammal, weighing anywhere from 7,700 lb to 26,000 lb as full-grown adults, but they sure don’t come into this world that way!
Small and fragile as babies, it takes a lot of chowing down before they reach their maximum weight. An adult elephant eats anywhere between 300-600 lb of food a day!
I suppose we all have to start somewhere.
