Baby elephant’s blissful swimming & joyful melodic trumpet call is pure joy; watch

In a delightful scene that has captured the hearts of netizens, an elephant named Hom Nuan was filmed enjoying a blissful solo swim in a flowing river all while trying to coax her friends to join in the fun. 

The video, shared by Lek Chailert, founder of the Save Elephant Foundation, quickly went viral, amassing over 36,000 views and a flood of affectionate comments.

Calling Out to Friends

The clip shows Hom Nuan wading and splashing with pure joy. But her merriment was tinged with longing her companions, Aung Kham and Rattana Kham, stood on the shore, refusing to get in. Determined to share the joy, Hom Nuan began trumpeting loudly, her high-pitched calls carrying across the water.

As Chailert explained in the caption, “Hom Nuan went swimming, but her two elephant friends refused to join her. So, she used her soprano trumpeting to get their attention calling out with joy, letting them know how much fun she was having, and inviting them to join her in the water.”
