The Oklahoma City Zoo is celebrating the birth of a baby elephant.

Their 26-year-old Asian elephant Asha gave birth on Thursday after 17 months of pregnancy.

It's a boy and the zoo named him Rama, which is Sanskrit for pleasing.

You can donate to Asha and Rama's baby shower fund on the zoo's website or by texting RAMA to 4-1-444.
