By the looks of it, he has the time of his life. He repeatedly gets out just to be able to jump in again and blows bubbles with its trunk. As you surely know, though, elephants aren’t really graceful animals. But what’s not to love about this chunky and clumsy guy?
Baby elephants are especially known for their playful nature. This behavior is crucial for their physical and cognitive development.
In the wild, these playful activities include mock fighting, chasing, and, as seen in the video, water play.
These actions help the calves build muscles, coordination, and social bonds. In other words, playtime is one of the most important activities of the day!
