I like how that other one is trying to find a place get in, and give sup and just falls over into the pool. I shall land where I land, and to hell with those that get in my way!

I giggled helplessly until I realized baby elephant trunks kinda freak me out.

Then I realized how freaky a baby elephant without a trunk would be.

Sometimes I wonder how I never became a pothead.

I was trying to focus on how cute it was but just realised how much their skin freaks me out.

i can't believe that inflatable pool is holding up! when i was a kid, they always seemed to pop after about bounce two.

[–]arthurstone 2 points3 points ago

It says in the video description that it pops and gets replaced every few uses.

finding that and not just relying on the presented gif would have required follow-through and more reading on my part. good job for you, though. A+

[–]mypsychoticself 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty sure that pool is made of stronger or thicker material than what they use to make kiddy pools.

Is there some sort of political expression behind this? I'm guessing Mitt Romney is the Elephant in the pool and the one trying to get in represents either Santorum or Gingrich.

smart way of cleaning baby elephants...unfortunately my local zoo didnt realize this, and a baby elephant drowned in the quite deep pool they had for the larger ones, kind of tragic =/

i would like to know the brand of that swimming pool. Even when just looking at it, it gets holes. And this one supports an elephant almost stampeding :)

Extremely sad when you realize the adult elephant in the background is exhibiting "rocking" behavior, what scientists think elephants do to cope with the stress of being in captivity.

My grandmother sent me an email titled "Young Republican Girls Pool Party" with this in the body :

"Pool Party - I had to think hard about sending this to you. I decided that you can handle it. Wet and wild . . . . young Republicans girls having fun, even Democrats will enjoy watching. WARNING----This is a non-rated video and the young Republicans girls having fun in this video do not have any clothes on."

Edit: I meant sent me the youtube video

you do know that elephants grow, right? That they need more space, their own herd, and a natural environment to explore?

Or were you under the impression that baby elephants stay small and cute for your enjoyment?

Actually that's pretty sad. You say: "They are sooo happy!" but in reality they'd have social contact with a lot more elephants and more than just a crappy little "pool" to bath in.

Fucking zoos…

Probably was being racist as well.
