IFS Officer Shares Video Of Elephant Bathing On Its Own
IFS Officer Susanta Nanda took to Twitter to share an adorable video of an elephant. In the video an elephant is seen nonchalantly bathing itself by holding a hose pipe with its trunk. It goes on to pour the water all over its head, back and ears. It even goes on to take the hose pipe and pour the water in its mouth, almost like its gargling. The IFS officer captioned the tweet by stating that he doesn’t support keeping the wild in confinement. But he does support the intelligence of elephants and even calls them marvellous creatures.
I don’t support keeping wild in confinement,
But support the intelligence of elephants…marvellous creatures.

No sir, just like any other harshful training to domesticated elephants, this also vigouraously trained to do like this.
Any behaviour of animals which is abnormal to their known one, is unnatural.— SSR (@ssr1952) March 11, 2023
But some Twitteratis drew attention that the elephant was in captivity and wished it could be let out into the wild. @ssr1952 tweeted that the elephant could have undergone harsh training to be domesticated. He found this behaviour to be abnormal and unnatural. @anjutalwar commented that the bathing elephant seemed like it was confined in a temple. She urged the need to set elephants free in jungles and not be subjected to a lifetime of captivity.
