Do you love watching videos that show different antics of elephants? Chances are, you already follow the page Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on Instagram. It is the official page of a rescue organisation that works with orphaned elephants and is filled with numerous adorable videos of the gentle giants. The latest share from them shows a baby elephant named Nyambeni who has mastered the art of head-to-toe scratching.
Alongside the video, they also shared a detailed caption. “She may be tiny, but Nyambeni already has life all figured out. Many infants need a helping hand with things that are second nature to adult elephants, like scratching an itch or mud bathing — but not Nyambeni! She tackles everyday tasks with a proficiency and passion that belie her young age. (For instance, this head-to-toe scratching session continued for a full five minutes!),” they wrote.
