A two-month-old baby elephant enjoys playing in the water for its first bath in a children’s swimming pool.
A 2-month-old baby elephant, named Ellie, was given her first bath in a children’s pool at the zoo in Dallas, Texas, USA. (Source: Daily Mail).
The baby elephant was born on May 14 at the Dallas Zoo after its mother was rescued from a drought area in Swaziland and brought here to care for earlier this year. (Source: Daily Mail).
Baby elephant Ellie seemed very excited the first time she took a bath in the swimming pool. It rolled under the water fountain, flattening the inflatable float. (Source: Daily Mail).
After rolling around happily under the cool water, the baby elephant jumped into the small swimming pool to play with the water. (Source: Daily Mail).
Currently, Ellie has not been introduced to visitors because zoo staff said it will take several months for her to get used to the zoo environment and other members of the herd. (Source: Daily Mail).
After a refreshing bath, the baby elephant returned to stand next to its mother.
