Elephant Calf Lily Rescued by Oregon Zoo: People were outraged when they learned the Oregon Zoo's adorable pachyderm could be sold off to the circus, but a new $400,000 deal will keep the calf at the zoo.

The Oregon Zoo's adorable baby Asian elephant just turned 3 months old, and she's a little firecracker, if you can call an elephant about to crack 500 pounds "little."

Lily--that's what the public voted to name her--was standing up in her first 10 minutes, zoo director Kim Smith tells The Daily Beast. Later that day, she was chasing her big brother, Samudra, around the yard. The fuzzy pachyderm figured out how to use her trunk to grab stuff in the first week. And even though she wasn't a big fan of the mashed-up banana her handlers gave her last week, Lily is trying to pick up bamboo like her mom, Rose-Tu.

And thanks to a deal the zoo cut with the California private elephant ranch Have Trunk Will Travel, Lily will continue...
