Lucky seems to really enjoy rolling around in the sand, puts on quite a show

The picture above was recently taken by British tourist John Lindie while enjoying a holiday in Thailand.

Apparently, the baby elephant featured in it had just finished bathing in the waters of the Indian Ocean, and decided that rolling around in the sand would be the perfect way to dry off.

Sources report that, for the time being, Lucky and her parents are living at an animal sanctuary in Thailand.

The people looking after them say that, not long ago, the elephant came fairly close to witnessing her parents' being killed by poachers, which is why conservationists saw fit to take them under their care.

“I had taken my camera to try and get some pictures of the storm as it came in and was very lucky to end up with some fantastic images of Lucky who seemed oblivious to the storm that was brewing in the background,” John Lindie told members of the press.
