Shared on Instagram by user rajamannai_memories, the video shows a baby elephant thoroughly enjoying bath time, happily splashing around and lifting its trunk in celebration. However, the mood suddenly shifts when the little tusker spots an unexpected little visitor - a tiny frog.
What happens next is pure sweetness: the elephant freezes and cautiously steps back. It's not fear that stands out, but the gentle instinct to avoid harming the little creature, radiating kindness and care.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time a video of a baby elephant has delighted the internet. Last month, an adorable video of a baby elephant picking up a vegetable from a roadside cart took the internet by storm.
In the video, a herd can be seen moving on one side of the road with their keepers sitting on their backs. The calf, who was walking between two adult elephants, slowed down, only to grab a snack from a roadside cart. The vendor and a woman, who was standing there, were taken aback for a moment. But they soon realised it was just a baby, with no intention of causing any harm, so they offered a vegetable to him. The calf took it and moved along to catch up with his family.
