At Fort Worth Zoo, baby elephant makes a splash

Now this will just melt your heart! An adorable baby elephant has the time of his life cooling down in a tiny kids pool!

Baby Belle is making the most of the summer heat.

The 3-week-old Asian elephant recently enjoyed some quality time in an inflatable pool with her mother, 40-year-old Rasha, at Fort Worth Zoo.

Watch Belle splash around in the water below:

Belle is only the second elephant born at the zoo in its 104-year history.

Zoo spokeswoman Katie Giangreco told the Associated Press that Belle weighed 330 pounds at birth and is gaining two pounds per day.

Belle "is curious and full of personality, learning new things every day, learning what her trunk is for, learning to use her legs," she said.

And like most youngsters, she's already learned to appreciate the kiddie pool.
