The Oklahoma City Zoo is expecting another big bundle of joy.

The zoo's 18 year-old Asian elephant, Asha is pregnant again. The video above shows a picture of the ultrasound.

If you look closely, you can make out the little elephant's trunk.

Zoo officials say Asha is about seven months along, but the due date is still more than a year away: Asha is expected to give birth in December 2014.

The average gestation period for an elephant is 22 months. 

This will be Asha's second baby. The new calf will join big sister Malee.
