Retired wildlife enthusiast Tony Donnelly captured the adorable moment an elephant calf called Happy swang its trunk.
The footage, captured on May 22 in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa, shows the little one repeatedly spinning its trunk as he stands by a waterhole with the rest of the herd.
The filmer, Tony, writes: "After watching the heard for about 30 minutes I noticed Happy trying to get to the water to join his family for a drink and a swim.
''However, on that side of the waterhole, he could not reach the water with his trunk - that is when the trunk swinging started.''
