Ahead of World Elephant Day, which is celebrated on August 12, IFS officer Susanta Nanda has shared an adorable clip of a baby elephant playing with some bananas.

Nanda captioned the video, “Preparing for tomorrow’s world elephants day”. If you love animals, especially baby elephants, this video is sure to put a huge smile on your face.
