CRI听力: Baby Asian Elephant Takes First Step in Moscow Zoo
A newly-born Asian elephant has taken her first walk outdoors in the Moscow Zoo, accompanied by her mother and another female elephant.
It is the first time an Asian elephant has been born in the zoo, which carries a history of over 160 years.

"We kept her inside for a month and now we have let her outside for the first time. We were very worried but everything is just fine: the girls are getting used to the enclosure and running around. Asian elephants are hard to breed in captivity - it is a rare event in the world and a unique one for the Moscow Zoo."
The news of the baby elephant's first walk attracted numerous excited visitors of all ages.
The Zoo management hopes to organize a contest among locals to come up with a name for the baby elephant.
