In the video shared on the photosharing site, a person can be heard speaking to the baby elephant named Kinyei. However, the video showcases the cute activities of the elephant. A person can be seen trying to make her sit down, however, Kinyei is "not ready to go to sleep." In the video, the elephant can be seen trying to climb the window. In the caption, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust mentioned that Kinyei has had her milk in the evening. All other elephants have been "tucked" and the nursery has been quiet. However, the baby elephant Kinyei has been witnessing her surroundings through the window. "Kinyei is simply not ready to go to sleep! She’s had her evening milk bottles, her best friends are already tucked in next door, all around her, the Nursery is quieting down… But this fun-loving girl saw her window of opportunity to protest bedtime — and she climbed right through it!," reads a part of the caption. 

In the caption, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust further revealed the rescue of the baby elephant Kinyei. They mentioned that three years back, a group on a game drive spotted the newborn elephant wandering close to the pride of lions. "Kinyei’s story began three years ago, when a group on a game drive spotted a newborn elephant wandering precariously close to a pride of lions. She was all alone, and as soon as the lions felt compelled, she would have made very easy prey. Fortunately, fate intervened, and little Kinyei is now brightening our every day," reads a part of the caption.
