Baby elephants' tussle over treat wins Twitterati's hearts

On July 14, 2020, a Kenya based wildlife trust 'Sheldrick Wildlife' took to their Twitter handle and shared a cutesy video of three baby elephants, Maisha, Roho, and Larro from the wilderness of Kenya. In the video shared by them, the elephant calves were caught getting into a tussle for a tasty tree branch. Later, it so happened that Maisha gets hold of the branch but later gives it to Roho. However, it does not go well with Larro and the three engage in a fight to acquire the treat. But, the strenuous tussle soon ends with a sweet hug, which had Twitterati swooning over their cuteness. Sharing the video on Twitter, Sheldrick Wildlife wrote,

"Maisha might have given the tasty branch to Roho but there’s no way Larro was going to give up on the treat without a fight. Their tussle ends in a sweet hug (or is it stalemate?)! Catch up with all the antics from our Orphan Units"
