Get ready for your daily dose of cuteness overload, because today the Indianapolis Zoo in Indianapolis, Indiana shared a video of the first time their brand new elephant ventured outside with his proud mama following him. 

That baby was born over Labor Day weekend to the zoo’s African Elephant named Zahara.

@indianapoliszoo #cutenessoverload! ❤️ Our brand new baby elephant took his first steps outside today! While staying close to his mom Zahara, he was very curious of his new surroundings & was excited to explore! And after 20 minutes of exploring with mom, he was ready for a nap. 💤 #cute #adorableanimals #babyanimals #elephant #babyelephant #indyzoo #zoolife #firstdayout #motherson #calf ♬ original sound – Indianapolis Zoo
