Singapore's Night Safari zoo welcomed its first baby elephant in six years on May 12, and everyone is still celebrating the good news.

Weighing in at 192kg, the still-unnamed calf celebrated its first-month birthday on Sunday by splashing around happily in the zoo's ponds with its mum, Sri Nandong, and aunts.

Carers at the zoo have said that both baby and mum are in good health and will be ready to meet the public real soon.

For now, we'll just ward off those midweek blues with another video of this happy little camper who obviously enjoys taking baths and being the centre of attention.
