This was not the first time when a zoo has shared videos of its animals. One such cute video of an elephant and a buffalo was shared some three days ago. The video depicts a lovely moment of interaction between an elephant named Ndotto and a buffalo named Ivia. In the video, it is seen that the elephant and buffalo were pushing one another with the help of their heads.

Due to their height difference, the buffalo is seen to be pushing the elephant with support of the elephant’s chest. The video turned amusing when the trunk of the elephant seemed to be stuck in the horns of the buffalo. The video was published on September 1 with the caption saying, “Ivia the buffalo and his ele-friend Ndotto are both orphaned animals who we are giving a second shot at life. In the wild, the two species would usually keep their distance. In our care, they are united by a love of play are surprisingly gentle with one another.”
