A cute video has emerged of a baby elephant holding up a line of elephants at a zoo in the UK.

In the footage, captured by a visitor to Whipsnade Zoo on Sunday, a big elephant at the back nudges the dawdling youngster as he holds up the procession.

"We had just come out of the bears exhibit at Whipsnade Zoo when we saw elephant being led by zookeepers along the road, it was so amazing and unexpected!" the filmer later wrote online.

"I quickly grabbed my camera to take photos and managed to get a video of them holding eachothers tails, I had never seen elephants hold their tails in a line before, it was quite remarkable!

"The little baby elephant was constantly stopping or running off to the frustration of the other elephants, it was hilarious to watch him being put in his place"
