He is not even two weeks old, but already know how to keep his cool.This baby elephant, born earlier this month at Melbourne Zoo is pulling faces as he enjoys a cold showerAnd the young calf appeared to be having a fantastic time as he frolicked under the spray of water kindly directed onto him.Keepers decided to hose the youngster and the rest of his elephant family down in order to help moderate their temperatures in the wake of recent high temperatures.The young elephant was born at the beginning of the month, but is already a firm favorite with visitors.The joy of his birth followed tragedy for the zoo, as he made his arrival into the world just days after another baby elephant died in an accident.The youngster's mother Dokkoon is the first elephant in Australia to give birth for a second time, having previously given birth to 3-year-old Mali.The little elephant has yet to be named, but although several have suggested that he be named after Nelson Mandela, it is more likely that he will be given a traditional Thai name.'Mandela has been mentioned. Nelson has been mentioned as well,' zoo director Kevin Tanner told the Herald Sun. 'No name has been chosen as yet.'(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
