Let’s check in on the guests at Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, where we last saw the herd greet some new arrivals. At the moment, baby Wan Mai is taking advantage of a burst water pipe to take a nice long shower.
Meanwhile, new arrival Bunma is teaching her baby Chaba how to take a different kind of bath — in the mud. This is an important life skill that Chaba needs to learn, because elephants treat mud like Nature’s sunscreen, protecting their skin against the sun’s rays.
Love that the grown up elephants are enjoying watching the show just as much as we are. ❤️
Oh there are two videos!!! Oh boy – I might have to call it a day now – that’s just so much wonderfulness
I love baby heffalumps! Chaba looks like s/he’s having fun climbing on that mudpile.
There’s nothing cuter than a baby elephant having fun
We have one squeaky clean little elephant and one very muddy one, I’m not sure which one had more fun!
Two very different parenting approaches! “Mom! Mom! Did you see me playing in the sprinkler?” and “Get your butt in this mud right now!!”
I’m just ded from the cute. Chaba’s wide eyes were lethal.
Mama elephant playing slip n’ slide an baby playing in the sprinkler–summertime!
(pause to look up the average weight of an adult female asian elephant, x 3 adults + 2 babies….rounding up…..x 10 because just so cool…..)
70,000 thumbs up!
