Disney’s Animal Kingdom welcomed a new baby elephant to the savannah on January 4th, 2017.
Stella, who is the daughter of Donna, a 28-year-old African Elephant spent a couple months backstage bonding with her mom and the other elephants before she was introduced to the public.
She is one of ten African Elephants at Animal Kingdom; there are three males and seven females.
Disney says Donna became pregnant through “natural breeding” in January of 2015. African Elephants have a 22-month gestation period, which is the one of the longest in the world.
