Baby elephant chases birds in ‘joyful moment’ caught on video
A baby elephant rescued from a riding camp and now residing at Thailand’s Elephant Nature Park apparently loves to chase birds.
The accompanying footage shows Baby Wan Mai – whose name translates to New Day or New Beginning – sloshing across a sodden field in pursuit of small birds. (The footage is best-viewed in full screen with volume.)

Baby Wan Mai was born premature and tiny. She was rescued along with her mother, Mae Mai, by Elephant Nature Park founder Lek Chailert.
