Babies are innocent and quite playful, be they animals or humans. They are more friendly as they have the least experience and tend to be curious to explore their nature. However, the behaviour of wild animals towards humans is unpredictable. But, in sanctuaries or zoos, you must have come across babies of different animal species that are quite playful and create a close bond with humans.
Here we bring a few videos that show elephant calves and their playful activities. The videos with overloaded cuteness will certainly win your hearts.
In one video, a baby elephant can be seen trying to get inside its bathtub for bathing. As it seems, it's a zoo as several other adult jumbos can be seen standing while a caretaker pours water into the tub. At first, the calf slips while entering the tub but manages to enter. As soon as it enters the tub, it starts enjoying its bath playful. After a few moments, it stands up to play with the caretaker. Next, it steps out but goes back again. This playful act of the elephant calf is winning the hearts of netizens.
Shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Buitengebieden, the video has gone viral while the comments section is flooded with appreciation and love for the cute wild animal.
In another video, another elephant calf can be seen blocking a group of tourists in a forest. The baby jumbo playfully stands in front of their vehicle and tries to scare the wildlife explorers. When it fails to scare them, the calf gets down on the ground. As soon as its mother walks closer, the calf moves away from the vehicle and pretends as if it was sitting idle all along.
In the same video, another calf can be seen walking down the stairs to take a bath. The calf enters the water carefully and starts moving its trunk inside the water in circular motions. Then it moves ahead and continues its playful act.
While the original source of the videos couldn't be verified, it is shared by a user on X.
Undoubtedly, the videos prove that childhood is the best phase of life for any surviving species on earth.
