This lively pair went all out, employing their heads, trunks, and legs to try and topple each other. Every victorious moment was celebrated by sitting or lying on top of the fallen comrade, evoking peals of laughter from onlookers.

Even an intervention from an adult elephant couldn’t halt the match. Seeing that the calves were harmless to each other, they were allowed to continue their playful antics under the vigilant supervision of their parents and herd members.
