A herd of elephants laid down together bemusing a bunch of safari-goers in South Africa's Kruger National Park on January 14.
The footage shows a group of large elephants all laying down together as a baby continuously nudges an adult as if wanted them to get up and go.
The filmer told Newsflare: "There are predators such as lions in the Kruger National Park. So it is unusual to see Elephants laying down in the National Park.
"They are really slow to get up and would, therefore, be an easy target. It is behavior we have not seen before in the park and we go to the national park every year.
"There are predators and they would be very vulnerable when laying down. One can see in the video how long it takes them to get back onto their feet."
