The Dallas Zoo has announced the name of a new baby elephant.
new baby elephant
, born almost three weeks ago, is now named Okubili. Pronounced oh-coo-BEE-lee, the name comes from the Zulu language and means “two” or “duplicate.” The name was picked because Okubili the elephant is the second calf to mother, Mlilo and is almost a duplicate of her. Mom and Okubili are still bonding and getting to know the rest of the herd behind the scenes and the Dallas Zoo will inform the public when he’s ready to make his public debut.
This little boy is almost three weeks old, and he has a NAME! Meet... Okubili! His name means "two" or "duplicate" in Zulu, and we think it's perfect for this little one because he is a carbon copy of second-time mom, Mlilo.
