Lionel Messi of Elephants: Young Animal Enjoys Playing Football

06:00 GMT 31.05.2017 (Updated: 19:30 GMT 19.10.2022)

Watch this “rising football star” merrily playing with a plastic container and attracting crowds of people on a public road in the Indian state of Assam.

The baby elephant was so engrossed in his play that he halted traffic for some 30 minutes, and some vehicles had to change their route to reach their destination. Meanwhile, other drivers patiently waited until the animal finished his game.
