Ayo, a three-week-old baby elephant, doesn’t mind getting wet! Named on Sunday after the word for “luck,” Ayo celebrated his new name by splashing around in a small paddling pool for delighted visitors at Germany’s Bergzoo in Halle (Saale).
Enjoying a refreshing shower from a bucket of water, Ayo looked thrilled as he waded through the cool pool, even pausing for a sip.
Born on August 3, just a few weeks after his half-sister Tamika’s arrival in June, Ayo and Tamika have quickly become favorites among zoo guests.
