If you haven’t heard, the internet is totally smitten with the Oregon Zoo’s newest baby Elephant named Tula-Tu. Mama Rose-Tu welcomed this little one earlier this year. Since then, she’s been flooding our feeds with the cutest moments like when this little calf decided to throw her own floral parade. And she’s kept us saying, “Aww!”
More recently, Tula has us appreciating quiet moments with mom. In this video, you see this mother-daughter duo spend a perfect day together. Seriously, it’s like a montage from a movie! Go ahead and watch. We promise you’ll be calling up your mom for some one-on-one time.
@caradena A Sunday with Tula-Tu at the @Oregon Zoo #oregonzoo #tulatu #babyelephant #elephant #oregon #portland
Nothing compares to quality time with mom! And these two spared no expense when it came to connecting with one another. First, they started with a little walk. Next, they stopped and had a meal provided by their favorite humans. There was some time to chat, and then they had a little pamper session where their human caretakers provided plenty of rubs and scratches. Just look at that leg jump! Finally, they rounded out the day with a nice little nap for Tula-Tu.
The poster of the TikTok video, @caradena, captioned this as “[a] Sunday with Tula-Tu at the [Oregon Zoo.]” Sign us up for this mother-daughter day itinerary!
You can tell that mama and baby are building a strong bond, and the commenters can’t get enough of these two. “I could watch them all day,” gushed @francespartida when looking at this pair’s blissful day.
Another was literally wishing they could get in on the fun. Commenter @tammymarieadams12 chimed in and added, “Again, where [were the] elephant watchers on career day?” We can only imagine that the humans that get to take care of these special animals must love days like this.

This baby elephant has been keeping us all entertained since day one. Take a look at this earlier moment posted to the Oregon Zoo’s TikTok page when she meets her auntie Shine. Their trumpet sounds are so adorable!
@oregonzoo Rose-Tu’s baby met Auntie Shine (and much trumpeting ensued) 🐘💕🐘 #elephant #babyelephant #animals
She’s gotten so big, and it’s only been a few months. It’s true what they say: kids do grow up fast! And we don’t want to miss a single moment. Other commenters on the post even wondered how they could spend some time with this precious baby elephant.
Well, if you happen to be visiting Portland, Oregon, think about stopping by the Oregon Zoo. The video poster @caradena did and captured these beautiful moments between Tula-Tu and Rose-Tu. After all, who doesn’t want to hang out with Tula-Tu?!
