baby elephant
Trunk-bearing youngster
A baby elephant is a young elephant, typically called a calf.
The term appears in children's literature, wildlife documentaries, and casual speech when the technical term isn't needed: We watched the baby elephant splash in the watering hole.
Baby elephants remain dependent on their mothers for several years.
