A baby elephant struggling to get out of a mud bath in Kruger National Park in this cute footage.

Filmed on August 26, the elephants can be seen playing in the mud, but when it’s time to get out the baby takes a little bit longer than the rest.

“After pulling himself together the young elephant gave it a second go to get up the slippery bank of the mud wallow. Immediately two of his older sisters came closer to assist,” said the filmer.

“While slipping and sliding up the muddy bank, the older sisters tried to use their trunks to help their struggling little brother."

There is no doubt that baby elephants love to play in the mud and that a good mud wallow is their favourite activity above all else. Once playtime in the mud is over, it usually turns into a struggle to get out of these slippery mud wallows. While on safari in the Kruger National Park we came across a herd of elephants cooling off in the mud. Majority of the herd was starting to make their way out of the mud wallow. Eventually there was only one male baby elephant left to get out. This video shows just how much these youngsters still rely on other herd members to get through their daily struggles such as getting out of a slippery mud wallow. The baby elephant’s first attempt was a failure that had everyone in laughter. The baby elephant did not get far when he suddenly fell back into the muddy water in spectacular fashion. He got up and looked totally disoriented and a little shocked at the same time. After pulling himself together the young elephant gave it a second go to get up the slippery bank of the mud wallow. Immediately two of his older sisters came closer to assist. While slipping and sliding up the muddy bank, the older sisters tried to use their trunks to help their struggling little brother. This tactic didn’t seem to work in the end and to our amazement the younger sister finally decided to use one of her front legs to get her little brother out of his predicament. Once on dry land, the baby elephant immediately ran straight to his mother and stood next to her looking very relieved.
