While guiding in the Kruger National Park, me and my guests came across this breeding herd of elephants who were about to cross the road and we decided to stop and watch them cross. That's when this little one appeared from the long grass and had us entertained for a while. He clearly was frustrated with his trunk if you look at the way he was shaking it, blowing air through it and trying to step on it. The reason he is doing this is not known but it could be that there might have been something in his trunk that made it itch or maybe he just didn't understand this long thing on his face... either way it was very funny and made our day...

this video is hysterical. the poor little guy is trying desperately to control his trunk, but hasn't quite got the hang of it yet.

That was too dang cute. Almost like a human baby noticing their hands for the first time. So funny.
-
That baby is adorable with his/her trunk going haywire 😂😂
-
He's flinging it around like "GAAAAHHH GET IT OFF!!!" 😂
-
I thought the first one was the baby than this little guy shows up. 😂

God is good. He has blessed us with a great garden filled with wonderful animals. Wow!
-
He's like "how do you turn off this thing?".

i love how caring Elephants are to each other. <3

Elephants have over 40,000 muscles in their trunks and it can take up to a year, sometimes more, before a baby elephant learns to coordinate them to be able to use its trunk properly, that's what the baby is trying to do. Until they manage to do this they will just use their mouths to get fluids, rather than using their trunks to suck it up and blow it into their mouths.

My babies did the same thing when they first found there feet and hands. So cute.

Newborn elephants don't have complete control of their trunk until they're a bit older

elephants is a picture of a responsible parenthood..they are really very caring showed by their action alone....mabuhay elephants....

I also equally love the interaction between the baby's slightly bigger brother who goes to rest in the middle of the road but big sister or cousin says.."oh ohhhh..no you don't!" ...and he stands up straight then he goes to try it again then momma (either his or his aunt) turns around and comes back and for sure makes sure he gets the message "not to sit down in the middle of the road especially in front of humans!" What "fantastical "interactions just like humans. Wonderful creatures!!

Not only the baby...in fact the whole herd seemed confused with the long thing on their faces !!!!! The older baby was also so cute💖
