Adorable baby elephant loves slapping water with its trunk

The video shows how an adorable baby elephant finds it very amusing to keep slapping the water with its floppy little trunk.
Baby elephants are one of the cutest animals you can view while on an African safari. Baby elephants can be clumsy and very playful, making for entertaining viewing most of the time. During their first few years, baby elephants are still learning all the life skills needed to survive in the African wild. The use of their trunk is one of the more complex skills a baby elephant needs to learn, and it can take up to a year for a baby elephant to have full control over its own trunk and be able to use it for all its purposes such as feeding and drinking water. During their first year of life, baby elephants will learn how to use their trunks, but in between they will also play a lot with their trunks, still fascinated, and amused by the weird thing hanging on from their face. While watching a herd of elephants, I spotted one such baby elephant, walking into a muddy wallow, repeatedly slapping the water with its trunk. I didn’t imagine that the baby elephant’s amusement with slapping the water will last that long. The baby elephant hilariously just kept on slapping the water for an extensive period almost nonstop, while having the time of its life. Eventually the baby elephant was done playing with its trunk and it was time to cool down in the muddy water before running out again, back to mommy. What an entertaining moment it was to watch such a cute little creature having fun in the wild.
