Baby Elephant Plays With Birds

23:48 GMT 31.07.2015 (Updated: 12:52 GMT 10.11.2022)

Whatever your plans for the weekend, you couldn't possibly enjoy yourself as much as this newborn elephant chasing a flock of low-flying swallows.

The video was taken in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

After the upsetting news this week of the senseless shooting of Cecil the Lion by an American hunter, it’s nice to have an uplifting reminder of the importance of protecting rare and endangered animals.
