Baby Elephant’s Joyful Mud Bath Leaves Him Almost Unrecognizable

  A young elephant had so much fun during a mud bath that he nearly disappeared under all the muck. The playful bull elephant was thrilled to cool off under the intense heat, rolling around until he was completely covered from his trunk to his toes. While the elephant enjoyed his time at Kumana Dam in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, a curious group of impalas looked on, seemingly confused by the scene. Cara Pring, a safari company founder from Sydney, Australia, captured the photos. “I found it funny because it’s rare to see elephants lying down fully covered in mud,” Cara shared. “It was almost like he was having his little African spa day.” Read more  Elephant News.

Playful Baby Elephant Delights American Tourist with Cuddles in Thailand (VIDEO)

An American tourist couldn’t stop laughing after being showered affectionately by a playful baby elephant during a visit to Thailand

An American tourist couldn’t stop laughing after being showered affectionately by a playful baby elephant during a visit to Thailand

The heartwarming moment was captured on video, featuring a baby elephant named Suki joyfully cuddling with a tourist at Chia Lai Orchid, a sanctuary in Chiang Mai dedicated to rescuing elephants.

Watch the video at the end.

In the clip, Suki playfully nudges the tourist with her trunk, attempting to grab hold of her. Suki lifts one of her legs when that doesn’t quite work, causing the tourist to roll over before the baby elephant flops down on her.

Despite the playful roughness, the tourist smiles and giggles, enjoying the unique encounter.

The sanctuary reassured viewers that “no humans were harmed in the making of this video,” which is a relief considering that Suki, still a calf, could weigh up to 200 pounds.

As the two continue their playful interaction, they move closer to Suki’s mother, who remains calm, munching on grass, seemingly unfazed by her calf’s antics.

Towards the end of the video, a friend of the tourist joins in, and the three enjoy petting and feeding the energetic Suki, creating a memorable and joyful moment at the sanctuary.

Mother Elephant Rescued from Poacher’s Snare After Being Found in Agony in Zimbabwe

  A wildlife rescue team in Zimbabwe saved the life of an elephant named Martha after she was found limping with a poacher’s snare tightly wrapped around her leg. The wire, which had cut deeply into her flesh, left her in severe pain and unable to walk properly. Martha was spotted by the Musango Island Safari Camp owner, who immediately alerted local conservationist Catherine Norton. Norton, 58, quickly mobilized her team to help Martha, who was accompanied by her young calf. “We had to act fast. Without intervention, she would have died,” Norton explained. The team sedated the elephant, cleaned the infected wound, administered antibiotics, and carefully removed the wire with cutters. Norton added, “It only took her a few minutes to recover, but things could have turned out much worse.” Martha’s calf, still dependent on its mother, would have likely died as well if Martha hadn’t survived. Norton emphasi

Elephant Herd Rushes to Save Calf from Lion Attack in Botswana

  In a dramatic scene in Botswana’s Chobe National Park, a herd of elephants came together to rescue a young calf from a group of lionesses. British photographer James Gifford documented the tense moment when a lioness targeted the lone calf, attempting to bring it down. The lioness was seen stalking the young elephant before launching herself onto its back. However, she lacked the strength to overpower the calf on her own. Just as more lions arrived to assist, the situation took a turn—an entire herd of elephants appeared, coming to the calf’s defense. James Gifford described the moment: “When I saw the elephant herd approaching, the lions stayed low. It didn’t seem like the elephants noticed or saw the lions as a threat.” The lions waited for the adult elephants to pass before two lionesses saw their chance and attacked the isolated calf. “The youngster was terrified, and though one lione
