This is the adorable moment where a baby elephant appears to wiggle on the floor with laughter when his older brother tickles him with his trunk.
The moment was caught on camera by wildlife photographer Lee-Anne Robertson, from Sundays River Valley, South Africa.
Looks like the baby elephant was in a playful mood with his older brother in the Addo Elephant Park in South Africa.
He was first tickled on the ground before climbing on top of his brothers back.
Lee-Anne said: ‘I thought he was adorable, just like any baby. He was full of energy and looking for someone to play with.
‘After a while, he threw himself down on the ground and his older brother came over and started touching him playfully with his trunk, as if to ask him to come to play, to which the baby responded and got up and started climbing on his brother.’
