Almost certainly right! I love the photos and videos on the Taronga Zoo blog, especially the "happy face" of Mr Shuffles in the water :D It sounds like he's doing as well as a "normal" elephant calf.
 
Went in to see Mali for the second time today. She's already 198kg as at last weighing, after a birth weight of 110kg.

There are plans, apparently, for Num-oi to be pregnant by the end of the year.

That sounds like a good weight gain. Any pics :)
 
I saw the little guy on the tv news yesterday he appears to be walking and running around really well. Also reading Taronga zoos website states his weight has increased to 130kgs?. I guess his new name is no surprise but he will be remembered as Mr Shuffles, lol.
 
Nice shot on the video at about 1.30 of the keepers bringing the two cows and the calf into the paddock.:)

I'd certainly say he's looking at a good future now.
 
I was at Taronga about 5 days ago now. The same day little Pathi Harn was named. Unfortunately i missed the ceremony, but still got to see him.

Him and Luk Chai together was quite awesome. Luk Chai has matured a lot as well, he's getting more and more independent.
 
Good news about the little female calf (Mali) at Melbourne zoo who now weighs more than 200kgs and has four teeth, she is SO cute!!!!!!!, looking forwards to the next calf to be born there, hope it's another female
 
Good news about the little female calf (Mali) at Melbourne zoo who now weighs 205kgs and there are signs of four teeth.

I hope the zoo will keep updating it's website with her progress :cool:
 
I haven't even had the chance to go and see her yet!!! But apparently there is still a 45 minute wait according to my friends at school that went for an excersion.

If you go towards the end of the 90 minute sessions, you should only have to wait about 10 minutes.
 
For those of you in Oz tomorrow night on channel 7 there is a one hour program about Pathi Harn (Mr Shuffles) at 7.30 called "Miracle at the zoo"
