The invisible baby elephant! The scene frightened the mother elephant when she saw the baby elephant bathing in mud and then disappearing. It turned out that it had been soaking in the mud with muddy skin.

'It's almost as if he's enjoying his own African spa session,' said Cara. The elephant eventually managed to drag himself away from the mud 

In a heartwarming scene at the Kumana Dam in Kruger National Park, South Africa, a young bull elephant we had a fantastic time cooling off under the scorching sun.

His mud bath became a playful extravaganza as he covered himself from trunk to toe in the cool, soothing mud.

The two elephants were walking in the Kruger National Park in the searing heat when they came across the watering hole 

Photographs capturing this delightful moment were taken by Cara Pring, the founder of a safari company based in Sydney, Australia. The young bull’s exuberant mud bath саᴜɡһt the attention of a nearby group of curious impalas, who watched the spectacle unfold.

Cara Pring expressed her amusement at witnessing such a joyful sight, remarking that it’s not every day you see elephants ɩуіпɡ dowп and completely covered in mud.

The watering hole is popular with elephants, impala, giraffes and baboons who all come to drink in the heat, said Cara Pring

The scene almost resembled an African spa session, with the elephant seemingly reveling in its natural mud treatment.
