A cute video has emerged of a young elephant playing with its trunk in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

The footage, shot by visitor Lisl Moolman on Wednesday, shows the pachyderm shaking its trunk around a bush.

"Upon approaching the herd, I saw an elephant calf playfully running around - the rest of the herd was feeding and relaxed,
ignoring the little calf," the filmer wrote online.

"It seemed bored and without a playmate, and tried its best to keep itself busy."
