Elephants in spa bath surprise holidaymakers

Remarkable footage from South Africa has emerged, showcasing the moment a group of stunned holidaymakers notice a herd of elephants enjoying their spa.

While they’re not pulling on a pair of elephant-sized swimmers and jumping in for a soak (there’d barely be enough space) the elephants do enjoy a nice drink.

And while the holidaymakers seem stunned to notice the herd of elephants drinking from the spa bath, the elephants seem rather unperturbed by the whole thing.

Let’s address the elephant in the room – they’ve done this before!  

The video was originally posted on online forum Reddit, where commenters said it was not entirely uncommon to see elephants performing this way on animal reserves.

Either way, we hear an elephant never forgets!

Don’t you just love elephants? And while this might be a confronting, it’d be wonderful to see them so close. What’s your favourite big animal?
