Many moms struggle to keep their children under control when they’re playing in public.
So spare a thought for this female elephant struggling to keep her brood in one piece in the Kenyan wild.
The adorable baby elephants were captured play-fi.gh.ting as their mother watched on in the Kenyan wild One of the young rams its trunk and nose into the other’s side as they bound around in the wild at the Entim Camp in the Maasai MaraThe elephants let out cries of excitement as they ran amok in the wild under the eye of their mother and a wildlife photographerOne of the elephants starts running away from the rest of the animals in the Maasai Mara in Kenya. The collection of photographs will be used as part of an anti-poaching campaign in KenyaDespite their mother’s efforts, the young continue their play-time, smashing in to one another in the hope of victory‘Settle down’: Two adult elephants from the babies’ herd approach them to try to calm the boisterous animals down as they continue to playEnough’s enough: The two young place their heads together to continue the fun before their mother steps in to break up their embraceOne of the young tries to make a quick escape from the adults’ rule but is swiftly picked up by its tail. After settling down the herd continues on its jaunt through the wild. Photographer Margot Raggett said watching the animals play could bring hours of entertainment
As the animals walked through the camp, they were seen jumping over each other and raising their front legs. Their mother was watching on.
Eventually, they were separated from their mother by the stronger pull of her trunk.
Wildlife photographer Margot Raggatt captured their joy from a vehicle nearby, producing a stunning series of images that will be part of an anti- po.ac.hing campaign.
‘They were running around like toddlers, out of control and having a fantastic time.’ Ms.Raggett said.
While they were chasing and jumping on each other, the older elephants seemed to have been futilely trying to keep the younger ones under control. It was hilarious.
Eventually, one baby elephant came and checked out our car and even tried to charge us at one point by pretending it was bigger than it actually was.
Elephants are playful and innocent creatures who can bring hours of enjoyment and fun.
