Who knew elephants loved the beach? This baby can't get enough.

[@cdnerin]

OMG cute overload! Elephants are such wonderful creatures!

[@ChetLindsay]

THIS BABY MAKES ME HAPPY!!!

[@2dasimmons]

This baby looks like (s)he's having a GOOD TIME. CUTE.

[@gart97]

Wonderful joyful little elephant. We must do all we can to protect wildlife, nature and the environment - they're our real priceless treasures!

[@carolynj.griffin8685]

They are so adorable at this age.....more fun than a little puppy!

[@way2walk]

He's so joyful, I wish he'd make a sound to match his motions!

[@funkiedrawas]

i hope this is not his only happy memory in life. God bless this creature. Beautiful.

[@LadyFish1988]

i love how it charges at the waves coming like "im gonna stop you waaaave!"

[@AvianLassje]

You can actually hear her being commanded to go (back to the water I suppose, I don't understand the language) a couple of times when she was leaving the water. Elephants are amazing and should never be "broken" and trained. Such amazing creatures they are! Would that the human race (including me) could leave nature alone!

[@Javier636]

Man!, ain't this the cutest thing?, it made me feel happy watching the little critter enjoying the turf and the surf.

[@shoboy321]

i wish I had a baby elephant... Whenever I see a baby elephant picture in like National Geographic, I'm always just Amazed and joyful :D and seeing this just made me have faith in the world of elephants.

[@Axelette13]

I swear, he even looks like he's smiling! BEST. VIDEO. EVER!

[@gayecrause2677]

This little elephant is straight from heaven

[@Melisay27439]

CUTEST VIDEO EVER !!!!! (way better than the thousands of videos of kittens...)

[@sophielouise1046]

n'awww! animals are so easily pleased! and we complain about money and what not... this is just adorable!

[@lexie1899]

This is adorable

[@for052]

this creature's happiness is contagious! just totally made my monday!

[@ringaboo549]

Elephants don't like salt water because it hurts there skin. You can tell this one is not liking what he is doing because he comes out of the water every once in a while then you see a short glimps of a man then the elephant runs back into the water.

[@ericadenison7118]

+Ringaboo I agree with you, I could hear the men yelling at the poor thing too.

[@alyssarios9105]

+Ringaboo Anyone with eyes can see that the elephant is enjoying himself. I think the man was trying to get him to stay out of the water because he was supposed to be performing in a wedding ceremony.

[@putalukuttan]

:) totally cant get enough...reminds me of my little nephew the first time we took him to beach...elephants are so much life humans, especially the babies :)

[@PulhaGarcia]

Humans are just one more resident on the planet. And of the worst kind too. We don't own all emotions the same way we don't own all the land. Beautiful video. God bless all animals.

[@DafneMyhre]

its like a child playing happy with the sea!

[@zoney1753]

OMG so adorable

[@MrFobmarley]

Happy as a baby elephant. Thanks little one for making my day!

[@Deborah5360]

A beautiful baby indeed, but where is his mother? Elephant calf's cannot survive alone. This baby is not having honest fun in the waves, can you not hear the smack of the switch when he comes out from the ocean? The calf is most likely owned and his keeper takes money from tourist that are paying to watch this little one pretending to have fun as not to disobey and suffer the consequences later. I truly feel sadness for the elephant baby's life in the hands of the owner. Animal performances place enormous stress on animals and can involve violent training techniques. It's unnatural and demeaning for a wild animal to have to 'perform' for the sake of entertainment or to support his owners upkeep. Please be a responsible tourist and not patronize the owners of these animals.

[@clot8]

his mother is sun tanning!

[@Deborah5360]

cartman You're out for cheap laughs cartman. Most likely his Mother has been taken away and that is sad. Baby elephants learn everything about life from their Mothers.

[@moddum9438]

He/she lived with mother.

[@2dasimmons]

THAT'S HORRIBLE!!! It really makes one HATE HUMANS.

[@the_ele_fan9255]

I was searching for this comment! Very sad for the baby!

[@enitron]

I played with one at the beach at Laguna Beach Resort yesterday....so playful and cheeky!!!

[@revjime.stephenson8628]

Asian Elephants seem much more tame than the much bigger African Elephants. In India and throughout much of South Asia people form very close bonds with Elephants. People care for them and bath their Elephants often. That is such a beautiful video! PTL

[@luciedeblieux9583]

This is too pure for the world

[@xoxoglittergirlxoxo]

[@pukulu]

cute elephant

[@skimpaler]

I would love to have been there to see this in person. Hell I would play too.

[@cutebam]

ahahaaa so Cute!

[@EllieLove21]

When these "beach babies" reach 2 yrs of age, they are shipped to elephant camps and used as tourist attractions until big enough to give rides (trekking). Many of these young elephants are tied to a rope, walking next to an adult female elephant so it looks like babies are not torn from their mothers.

[@1945918]

Brincalhão, fofinho e querido!

[@1945918]

Não consigo resistir, apetece-me dar um mergulho no Mar!

[@EllieLove21]

This is male elephant, "Lucky". He is used as a tourist attraction at The Laguna Bang Tao Beach, Phuket.

[@EllieLove21]

These "beach" elephants go through a practice known as Phajaan -- a spirit-breaking "tradition", or domestication process, if you will. This practice allows for baby eles to become obedient to their mahouts/owners. Baby elephants are used as street beggars or tourist attractions at hotel beaches, sometimes elephant camps, until they are old enough to give rides to tourists, i.e. trekking. This is prob the only time "Lucky" has been able to somewhat enjoy his otherwise unhappy life. So sad..

[@Joycenarede]

o elefantinho literalmente se jogou kkkkkkkkkkkk que lindo!!!!

[@barbarafonsecadh]

aah! Que fooofoo

[@nonebusiness4488]

he is totally digging the water

[@ErnestoTani]

weeeee!!!!

[@thekidnextdor]

He is laughing :)

[@Hulk_Mania]

Beautiful thanks

[@fatalseizures]

maybe he is not wild, maybe that elephant loves weddings.

[@yvetteparent2065]

What a beautiful thing to see just how they should be 💗

[@porafael1]

cute

[@shoesplain2]

自分の子供の頃を思い出すなぁ~。🐘🌊 別に象じゃないけど。

[@hhatlanta1409]

Did anyone actually do any research on this before saying it was abuse? The beach is nearby the sanctuary where Lucky and her parents live after they were rescued from poachers. The reason her parents aren't there is because she was getting a bath at this time. And the "wounds" on her head the natural markings on her skin. Google "Did you pack your trunks daily mail" and you'll be able to see the story.

[@Treebard]

sounds fun!!! :)

[@ladytron999]

Ugh, I thought this was adorable but I think some people on here are correct. The baby elephant seems have been ordered back into the water a few times. I can hear someone giving orders with what sounds like two sticks clacking together.
