Once paralyzed by a train strike, baby Bani now plays with joy, her spirit stronger than her scars.

Meet Bani, a baby elephant whose life took a dramatic turn at just 9 months old when she was struck by a train, leaving her injured and paralysed.

Recently, Wildlife SOS shared a heartwarming video capturing Bani’s joyful playfulness, and it quite literally is the cutest sight on the Internet.

The caption states, “This pool provides Bani with a refreshing respite from the heat and doubles as a fun enrichment, allowing her to roll around in the water and use her trunk to squirt water on herself and those nearby.

Additionally, the muddy bath forms a protective layer on her skin, shielding her from the sun’s rays, helping to cool her body temperature, and protecting her from insect bites.”
