There are three baby elephants at the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust whose behavior is strikingly similar to that of The Three Stooges. Although their names are not Larry, Moe, and Curly, these playful young pachyderms have the comedy routine down to a science.<\/p>\n
In a recent Instagram video posted by @sheldricktrust, the Umani herd babies are up to their old tricks again\u2014this time resembling dominoes, where one takes a tumble and the other two follow right after.<\/p>\n
Lenny, Sulwi, and Ziggy aren\u2019t rescued elephants, but their mothers were. The trio now live under the watchful eyes of the caretakers at the Trust as their moms continue the process of fully reintegrating into the wild. In the clip it\u2019s clear that these three are only interested in one thing\u2014playtime and getting dirty!<\/p>\n
Lenny, the jokester, is on the ground\u2014and although it looks like he\u2019s being pinned down by his friends, it\u2019s clear he\u2019s loving this wrestling session just as much as the others. Zigi, the smaller of the two standing elephants, may be little, but he\u2019s mighty! Sulwe, the larger one standing next to Zigi, teams up with him to give Lenny more than he bargained for when he started his playtime antics.<\/p>\n

She seems to be watching closely\u2014just to make sure that things don\u2019t get too rowdy, or perhaps she just wants to see how this adorable wrestling match will play out.<\/p>\n One commenter said \u201cOh my goodness! These three\u2026 I can watch this forever. They\u2019re growing so quickly. I hope we have a few more like this soon to keep the baby tumbling going!\u201d We couldn\u2019t agree more! Hopefully, the next round of mommies and babies will be close in age too, so we can watch them grow up together.<\/p>\n Another person pointed out, \u201cMy favorite thing about this\u2014second to the gorgeous elephants\u2014is the video takers always laughing and giggling at the antics unfolding.\u201d That definitely adds to the fun of the shared clip!<\/p>\n These little pachyderms are so loved, not only by those who care for them in person but by people all around the world.<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally reported by PetHelpful<\/a> on Nov 4, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
