A heartwarming video shows a six-month-old elephant laughing joyfully during a playful interaction with her caregiver at Maevang Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
The footage was filmed by Laura-Jane, a geology PhD student from Aberdeenshire, who was visiting the camp for her two-month holiday to celebrate her university graduation.
The video captures the baby elephant thoroughly enjoying herself while playing with a plastic bucket, much to the amusement of nearby visitors.
Laura-Jane was struck by the young elephant’s playful and innocent behavior, saying it was a joy to witness her carefree nature.
“It made me feel so happy to see the elephant having such a good time,” Laura-Jane said. “We watched her being playful, relaxed, and mischievous all day. At one point, she even tried to eat my top!”
The baby elephant’s mother, under the care of a park keeper, kept a watchful eye on her curious little one throughout the day.
Later, Laura-Jane and other visitors could ride the older elephants through the jungle while the baby tagged along for a stroll and more fun.
Though originally shared online in 2014, Laura-Jane recently reposted the video, delighting her friends on Facebook with the adorable and joyous moment.
