Wishing all of our friends here at de Wets Wild a blessed Christmas from Addo Elephant National Park!
Today’s sequence shows two baby elephants sharing a Christmas morning nap. The smallest of the two really struggled to get back up when it was time to start moving with the herd again. Certainly one of the cutest things we’ve ever seen in South Africa’s wild places!

Big babies can be very cute. I like to see wild animal mothers and their babies, you can see the love and care the mothers take with their young. No one can tell me animals don’t feel love. I know you had a glorious Christmas in one of SA’s loveliest wild places!
We absolutely did, Kim. Hope you had a lovely Christmas as well?
Great pictures of the cute elephants 🙂
Thanks a lot, John!

Amper in oormaat, Toortsie!
As ek nie al klaar gestem het vir jou blog nie, sou ek dit die keer gedoen het! Jammer mens kan dit nie twee keer doen nie!
Ons waardeer dit, dankie Petru!

Geseende Kersfees, Tina!
Ja-Nee, hierdie tweetjies het ons harte gesteel!
Jammy jy kan hulle nie huis toe vat nie
Ons het dit nogal oorweeg, Tina – net jammer teen die tyd wat hy huis toe verlang sal ons hom nie meer in die kar kry nie…
