Wild elephants, who evoke a sense of fear among many, have a lighter side too and often brighten up the mood of netizens with their shenanigans. IAS officer Supriya Sahu has shared one such clip featuring an elephant’s “sense of humour”, triggering laughter online.

The clip shows an elephant trying to come down a muddy slope. Slowly, it leaps with its hind legs on the ground and moves away. Meanwhile, the other animal shakes its head and bends its hind legs before rolling down the slope.

“Who says elephants don’t have a sense of humour video- shared #elephants,” Sahu captioned the clip. Since being shared on Monday, it has amassed more than 2,000 views so far.

The elephant’s method of descending the slope has tickled the funny bones of Twitter users. A user said, “Its awesome.” Another user wrote, “Second one adopted energy saving option.” A third user commented, “That’s a smart way of getting down the step.”

In November last year, an adorable clip from Kenya had similarly amused internet users. Journalist Alvin Patterson Kaunda was speaking on camera when a baby elephant interrupted him. While Kaunda spoke about the importance of wildlife protection, the elephant bumped into him but he maintained his cool. The undeterred four-year-old female elephant continued poking and tickling him in the face until he let go and burst into laughter.
