RTÉ - IRELAND’S NATIONAL PUBLIC SERVICE MEDIA / YouTube

THE WEATHER IS lovely, it’s almost the weekend and there are romping baby elephants in the world; what a time to be alive.

The RTÉ series The Zoo will be back on our screens at 7pm tonight and ahead of the first episode of the new series, they’ve given us a little taste of what is to come.

These baby elephants were having their first playtime in Elephant Habitat and thankfully there was a camera there to capture their fun.

We dare you not to smile as they roll around gleefully and sit on one another with their wrinkly little bums.
