Zoo guests in Indonesia cheer on an elephant until he starts spraying down the guests with water from his trunk, and making giggling-like sounds as the visitors rush out of the splash zone.

The male elephant, named Zidan, played on the edge of his enclosure at Kinantan zoo in Bukittinggi city, spending his time soaking zoo visitors last Sunday (March 10)

One of the elephant handlers at the Kinantan zoo said that bathing is a happy time for Zidan - who sometimes like to spit water on visitors as an invitation for the audience to bathe with him, according to the handler.

Elephant trunks can hold up to eight litres of water which is more than enough to soak any zoo visitor!
