One such adorable video is doing rounds on the internet, where a baby elephant can be seen running to greet a herd of elephants and their protective response is melting the hearts of netizens. In the video, that was shared by a Twitter handle 'HERD', a lone baby elephant apparently named Khanyisa runs towards a herd of stranger elephants to greet them in the morning and the protective response of the Jabulani herd and their welcoming nature is just 'beautiful' to watch. The video has garnered more than 1,500 views on Twitter since it was shared on June 10.
One user commented, "So nice to see how all the others are coming to check if she is well and staying around her in protection positions. After all the suffering in her beginning time of life, its very nice to see she has got a family now."
A stumble & a tumble as #babyelephant Khanyisa runs to greet the Jabulani herd in the morning. Their protective response is just beautiful. Even Somopane, an older bull picked up the pace!

People could learn so much from elephants with their kindness & attention to infants in their herd. They reacted to Khanyisa's stumble & tumble, just as humans do.

Another elephant video
In another video that was going viral last week, an elephant was recorded playing with a buffalo in the wilds. In the video, a 'naughty elephant' was seen playfully kicking one of the buffalos sitting quietly and minding its own business. The elephant kicks the buffalo and runs away. The video was so adorable that it managed to garner over 8,700 views in just two hours of being shared on Twitter.
Elephants are extremely playful.
