Animals play too! An elephant plays cricket : Watch a video

 

Recommended for Foundational Grades

Cricket is India’s most popular sport. But it seems not only humans but animals play it too.

A video has recently gone viral on social media. It shows an elephant playing cricket, just like a human!

In the 30-second video below, you can see the elephant playing cricket with a group of men in a village. The elephant holds the bat with his trunk and hits the ball with it.

This video has been seen over 6 lakh times and liked by many people. Even Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, as well as English cricketer Michael Vaughan, shared the video. Isn’t it wonderful to know that animals play too.

However, some people also feel that this is cruelty towards animals. Elephants don’t naturally do things like this. So, they feel that it must have been punished many times in order to learn how to “play”.

 

There are many interesting and enjoyable videos of animals. In these videos they are seen doing different things. Sometimes they are playing and being mischievous, whereas sometimes they are being just cute and lovable. In some of course, they are scary or even angry, but mostly watching animal videos is a whole lot of fun. Watch many amazing videos in our animal news for kids.
