Two baby elephants were spotted tumbling around on the ground at Kruger National Park in South Africa.
The youngsters could be seen climbing on each other and play fighting in one of Africa’s largest game reserves.
The two elephants seemed to ignore the presence of a car nearby and kept playing joyfully.
