This baby elephant was having a whale of a time in the mud with his parent in Masai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.

The clip, filmed on September 13, shows the pair chucking mud over themselves and each other.

"The elephant was so close to us that even we got a bit dirty with the splashes of mud he was throwing at himself.

At one point he literally came charging at us as you can see in the video where it comes towards us.

"They tend to become aggressive when they are with their babies.

But it was an amazing experience seeing the play and bonding of the baby elephant with the parent elephant," the filmer told Newsflare.
