I have another crush. My last crush was on a vast expanse of salt, and while I still have strong feelings for the Salt Flats, at this point they have been momentarily moved aside for a 400-pound bundle of joy.
Zuri, the baby elephant at Utah’s Hogle Zoo was born almost 3 months ago and is perhaps the cutest thing I have ever seen in my entire life (she’s not really pink, lest you were confused by the title). She will melt your heart in about 3 seconds and can wrap you around her (proverbial) little finger and keep you there forever. Don’t believe me? Spend the next 3-minutes of your life falling in love. Seriously. I’ll wait.
Did you watch it? Do you have warm fuzzies? Did you hear me squealing laughing in the background? I apologize for the squeals, but she is just so stinkin’ cute! Do you agree?
Britt went to see go baby elephant peeping a month ago and I’ve been wanting to see Zuri ever since. My friend Fred needed to interview a zoo worker for a class project, and I jumped at the chance to go check it out. And, if you’ve been a good boy/girl like I told you and watched the video clip, you will want to immediately jump in your car, on your scooter, on your bike, or strap on your rollerblades and go see Zuri.
(I was there in the early afternoon, about 1:30-2:30 or so, and she was super playful. Just do it.)
