Playful Baby Elephant’s Attempt to Chase a Warthog Turns into a Muddy Slip-and-Slide

A baby elephant’s playful encounter turned into a comical scene when it slipped around in a mud puddle while attempting to charge at a passing warthog. Ewan Wilson captured The moment on film at Addo Elephant Park in South Africa’s Eastern Cape. The footage shows the calf enjoying a splash in the mud alongside its family when it noticed a warthog scurrying by the pool’s edge. In a bold move, the young elephant decided to confront the warthog, planting its feet in the wet mud as it prepared to charge. However, the warthog paused briefly, causing the calf to take cover behind a larger elephant before lunging forward again. The calf lost its footing this time, slipping awkwardly on the muddy surface. From behind the camera, a man can be heard chuckling, saying, “That’s very brave.

Young Elephant Learns a Messy Lesson While Following Its Mother

A baby elephant had an unfortunate experience while following its mother in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, and it may think twice about sticking so close in the future.

After crushing the giant gourds, the elephants eagerly devoured the fruit. The pumpkins were a gift from the Austrian Giant Pumpkin Competition, held in the historic town of Tulln an der Donau in Lower Austria. It took several men to lift each pumpkin, and a special crane was needed to move them into the elephant enclosure. Dagmar Schratter, the zoo’s director, explained how pumpkins offer the elephants a fun change in their diet. “It was fascinating to see how they used their heads, tusks, and feet to break apart the pumpkins and reach the soft flesh inside,” Schratter said. The elephants, including Tonga, Mongu, and Iqhwa, wasted no time enjoying the seasonal treat. Growing pumpkins of this size requires an enormous amount of d
