Under the watchful eye of his proud mother, this adorable young elephant displays his smooth talents as he offers a first-rate performance in ball management. The elephant, known as Luk Chai, appears to be smiling as he happily chases the enormous football around his field.
Luk chases after the ball after his mom, Porntip, kicks it for him to retrieve. The ball is then kicked back to his mother for another round of the kickabout by Luk, who is the first Asian elephant to be born in Aᴜsᴛʀᴀʟɪᴀ.
Renee Doyle, an amateur photographer, captured the images while visiting Taronga Zoo with her family in New South Wales, Aᴜsᴛʀᴀʟɪᴀ. A visitor from Queensland said that she could just stand and watch him all day. Luk was so full of character and delightfully mischievous.
He enjoys running after his ball. The ball is occasionally kicked at him by one of the older elephants, and other times by the keepers. If his ball rolls into the little pool, he will even swim in it while kicking it around. There is only playtime; there is no established routine.
The keepers interact with each and every elephant on a daily basis, and they do an absolutely fantastic job. Even if there are no goals in the yard and the ball just runs wild, Luk will undoubtedly be chasing it.
All of the elephants engage in stimulating play with various toys and put on incredible balancing performances, and they all thoroughly love it. They always appear to be smiling. Luk Chai appears to be constantly moving and playing and adorably soaking in all the attention. Since he is the first baby elephant to be born in Aᴜsᴛʀᴀʟɪᴀ, there are a lot of people in the area who wanted to see him.
