Viral Video! Baby elephant celebrates her first birthday by cutting rice & ragi cake

A video of a baby elephant celebrating her birthday has gone viral on social media. Sreekutty, one-year-old elephant calf celebrated her birthday at Kottoor Elephant Rehabilitation Centre, Kerala on Monday.  

She was rescued from Thenmala forest area in November last year.

As per a report in The New Indian Express, the cake was made of rice and ragi. It was a touching sight as she greeted Dr EK Eswara, chief forest veterinary officer (Rtd), who nursed her to health. The bash was organised by the Eco-Development Committee, Kappukadu. 

In 2019, she was rescued in Thenmala. As she recovered in Kottoor, forest officials nursed her back to health and for them, her birthday will always be the day they found her.
