Adorable clip of an elephant calf trying to scare off a safari vehicle in South Africa.

The footage, filmed April 13 shows the herd of elephants crossing the path in front of the safari guides when the curious little elephant gets pushed by its siblings to investigate the vehicles.

“The group of playful and curious babies jostled and pushed each other while inspecting our game vehicle, accompanied by their ever-attentive mothers. The mothers were calm and gentle, allowing their young ones to be close to us, before leading them away into the bush. A beautiful encounter with the world's largest land mammal!” The filmer, Elly told Newsflare.
