However, despite the recent showers, the heat has made everyone more and more drained out and exhausted; not only the humans but the animals as well.
A video of a herd of elephants enjoying their dip in the water in Tamil Nadu is going viral on the internet. It was shared by IAS officer Supriya Sahu on Twitter and she wrote in the caption "A beautiful family of elephants with sub-adults and young calves enjoying their bath somewhere in Dharampuri district in Tamil Nadu. Thanks to some recent rains, the summer heat has come down as a blessing."
Since the clip has been shared, netizens are showering their love on the herd of elephants and the video has garnered more than 10,000 views. A user commented, “That’s a big family, indeed. Such a lovely sight. The gentle giants are always a treat to watch.” “Where else in Dharmapuri other than #hogenakkal falls and forest location :) I was there three days ago it was a good rainy day,” another user wrote.
Videos of elephants have always kept wildlife lovers hooked on social media. Recently, an adorable video of a baby elephant playing with a ball made netizens give hilarious reactions. The clip was shared from the popular Twitter account Buitengebieden shows the calf darting behind a ball. The enthusiastic baby elephant kicks the ball with its legs and trunk and moves swiftly behind it. The calf moves to the field and in an attempt to make a forceful kick, it falls. Engrossed in the game, the baby elephant does not lose its spirit and goes on to grab the ball with its trunk.
