If you are an animal lover, then this particular viral video of an elephant taking a bath using a water pipe will melt your heart. The now-viral clip was tweeted by IFS officer Susanta Nanda on March 11. Nanda has always struck a chord with netizens with a hoard of wildlife-related videos. And this time too, he has succeeded in making us smile with this video of the elephant.
The visual clip opens with an elephant using a water pipe to take a bath. The tripund tilak on its forehead indicates that the animal is domesticated. The adorable mammal uses its trunk to get a better grip on the pipe as it continues cleaning its body. What’s impressive is the fact that the tusker appears to be quite self-sufficient. It doesn’t need the help of a human to clean itself up. The elephant next puts the pipe in its mouth, before splashing water on its back using its trunk.
“I don’t support keeping wild in confinement. But support the intelligence of elephants… marvellous creatures. Here taking a bath on his own,” read the tweet of the video.
