Adorable moment twin baby elephants share their first bubble bath
- last year
This is the adorable moment twin baby elephants shared their first bubble bath.
Video shows Tukada enthusiastically playing and splashing in the bubble-filled, yellow paddling pool, while Yaad cautiously hangs back.
Asian elephant twins Yaad and Tukada were born at Rosamond Gifford Zoo in New York, USA, on Oct. 24, to mother Mali and father Doc.
Zoo staff were “astonished” when the second male calf arrived ten hours after his brother.
Twin elephants are very rare and make up less than 1% of all elephant births.
“Baby’s first bubble bath! Well, Tukada’s first bubble bath. Yaad preferred to stay on dry ground,” the zoo tweeted alongside the video.
“Knowing how much baby elephants love water, it won’t be long before Yaad joins in the fun!”
