The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust took to its official Instagram handle as they shared a video of a baby elephant Bondeni who takes a tumble while chasing warthogs in Nairobi National park. The video shows the baby elephant chasing the creatures as he took an unexpected tumble, determined to clear the area. According to the caption of the video, Bondeni has a bit of a vendetta against the wild warthogs and his techniques need a little work.

The very short video clip shows the baby elephant running behind the warthogs, full of enthusiasm. As the video progresses, we see him take a tumble several times. The caption says that he got excited with the eviction of his duties and therefore took a tumble several times. The caption of the video also urges people to adopt the baby elephant. It says, “Bondeni is one of the youngest orphans in our care. You can become part of his family by adopting him! In doing so, you provide vital support to our work and get a unique insight into his life”.
