Embarrassed Baby Elephant Hides Behind Grass After Falling Face First Into Mud

Sometimes, the unfortunate events of others turn out to be funny in the eyes of the witnesses.

The Kruger National Park

After seven weeks of lockdown in South Africa, a visitor at the Kruger National Park shared a story about what he witnessed inside the park.

Enjoying The Mud Bath

Elephants are fond of taking the opportunity to cool down by splashing mud all over their bodies during the heat of the day.

Caught On Cam

A visitor spotted some elephants enjoying their mud bath so he took out his camera to capture the moment.

Mother And Son

When all the other elephants have finished their mud bath, a mother elephant casually continued to splash herself with mud while her son was already covered in it.

His Distress

The calf suddenly stopped splashing mud over himself and started leaning forward to rub his forehead in the mud.

But It Was Chaos For Him

While he was leaning forward, the baby elephant suddenly slipped and fell, and his face planted into the mud.

Flustered And Embarrassed

The elephant calf immediately got back on his feet as if nothing happened and started to compose himself.

He Made His Exit

With absolute embarrassment, the baby elephant made his way behind the grass to hide himself from the shame.
