Mom Said It’s My Turn in the Mud Pit
Many animals exhibit playful behavior, especially in their youth. Just like human children who have an abundance of energy to expend, elephants engage in similar activities. They seek out the muddiest spot available and enjoy pushing each other around in it.
This behavior is particularly beneficial for elephants, as it serves as a cooling mechanism after spending time under the harsh sun. Unlike humans, they don’t need to take a bath afterwards, which might seem like a fortunate advantage. The image of these two young elephant calves suggests they are thoroughly enjoying their playtime.
