I am honored to have been asked to perform at the Honolulu Zoo for an upcoming large event at the end of the month. I will be performing a circus with marionettes and other puppets. I wanted to share the news of my baby elephant who was born today. I have pictures and video footage of him. Please note that the video is just footage for show and tell purpose and not an act as the trainer...me...is still getting know him and working with him. Also, please excuse the fact that my feet and legs are in view. We don't wear shoes in our homes in Hawaii but I promise that I wear them when I perform onstage. I will be sure to upload more videos to my youtube channel of his tricks once I master them...should be a couple of weeks for refinement. And I still need to add a tail....hehe.

Thanks for looking!

I love that you used a slinky for his trunk. Very cute!

Thanks! Yes, I used a Slinky Jr. because he is just a baby elephant. Thanks for taking a look. I'll be making more videos of him performing his circus tricks.

Aloha,

All I can say is, "WOW!" Way cool!

Very cute! And you won't have to follow him around with a shovel :)

that is adorable! I can't wait to see his "Momma Elephant"
