Baby Elephant Versus Birds In Adorable Confrontation

As we all know, toddlers can make a game of practically anything. In this video, an elephant calf shows that this is not unique to humans. Susan captured this charming sighting on the H3 near Berg-en-Dal in Kruger National Park.

At the beginning of the video, we see an elephant calf standing in the road. By the rounded shape of its forehead, we can tell that it is a young male. And, by his body language, we can tell that he is excited about something. With head held high, ears flared, and tail held horizontally, it appears something has caught his attention. But what?.

Then, as he charges back and forth, we notice that numerous swallows were circling close to the ground. Swallows usually behave in this manner when the weather is changing. Observers believe the insects they feed on seek stable air at lower altitudes. As such, the swallows must fly close to the ground to feed.
