Playful Elephants Enjoy a Day at the Watering Hole

A delightful pair of young elephants were spotted having a blast in a watering hole in South Africa, captured in stunning photos that showcase their playful antics.

In one of the images, a young elephant can be seen sliding backward into the water, with only its head and front legs visible from the shore.

Not wanting to miss out on the fun, another young elephant rushes over, and the two begin rolling around in the mud, soon joined by the rest of their herd.

Photographer Charmaine Joubert captured the joyful moments at Addo Elephant National Park. Joubert commented, “The young elephants are always entertaining at a waterhole, especially on hot days.”
