The smart elephant didn't want to traumatize a literal baby too much, lol

I love his little confident hop into the water after he wins the standoff 😄.

Elephants are intelligent. This one likely didn't want to hurt the little guy.

That little fellow is not taking anything from anybody. No matter how big they are. 😂❤🦛

The baby Hippo looks like one of those North American House Hippos 🦛 compared to the size of the Elephant. 😅🥰❤❤❤

oh my goodness. I imagine the elephant was very surprised by the baby hippo...

The baby elephant got an accidental text on purpose 😺

I wonder why the elephant didn’t whack the little hippo. Did elephant not want to hurt baby? Or did elephant know not to hurt baby bc big hippos were nearby?
