Sometimes a mother can't be perfect 100% of the time. While usually a mama elephant will do whatever it takes to make sure her little baby elephant gets what they need, that big mama could mess things up just a bit from time to time!
When little 1-year-old elephant Navann saw a nice-looking tub, he decided to goof around a bit. Baby elephants are known for their love of playing around, so he just had to jump in for a quick dip!
The only problem was that even though he's a baby, the tub was still too small for him to roll around and get some water on his back!
As he played around, he seemed to have a bit of a struggle to get his back clean. Even though there's a huge pool for all the elephants to safely submerge themselves nearby, little Navann insisted on playing in this tiny bucket. So he started to beg mom for some help.
Navann's beautiful mother came to help, but she seemed a bit too excited to pick up her waterlogged baby. She pulls the little pool away from the baby so hard that he almost fell down, like this other baby elephant! Mom was just so happy to help that she didn't know her own strength!
Luckily, little Navann is healthy and happy, we're overjoyed that these two beautiful animals are so well taken care of in their new homes!
Thank goodness for the amazing people that are ensuring that these amazing animals will not go extinct; special thanks to the amazing elephant preservation and educational sites like Elephant News, with their help these amazing creatures will always have a place to call home!
