Thursday, July 30, 2015, 11:52 AM - There's been a lot of sad news about African wildlife going around lately, so here's something to cheer you up.
One of YouTube's latest soon-to-be-viral hits features a baby elephant running out onto the road to play with birds.
It happily runs around before heading towards the trees and an adult elephant, presumably mom.
The newborn was spotted in the Kruger National Park in South Africa.
The park is one of the largest animal reserves on the planet, encompassing nearly 2 million hectares of protected land.
Kruger National Park was established in 1898 to help protect local wildlife and is home to 147 separate mammal species, in addition to countless trees, fish and amphibians.
