This is not the first time that an animal video has gained so much attention. Few days back, a video showing a baby elephant who is learning to graze went viral on social media. The video is for almost two minutes and it shows a cute baby elephant who is learning to graze. Uploaded on Reid Park Zoo’s official Facebook page, the video shows how baby elephant Penzi is yet to learn how to use her trunk. The video starts when the elephant digs her face into the grass and then shakes her head. She is trying to do a little something with her trunk as well. However, at the end of the video she manages to use her trunk and then savagely exits the frame.
