The video was shot by staff at the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson, Ariz., where Nandi was born Aug. 20. Earlier this year, the zoo had asked their fans to help choose a name for the baby elephant, with the majority of responses choosing Nandi, which means "sweet in Swati or "fun" in the Zulu language.

In just weeks, Nandi's eager excitement for life became obvious as she couldn't help but be happy and playful, making for one ridiculously photogenic baby.
