Kruger National Park recently shared some adorable footage of a rare “pink” elephant hanging out at a watering hole with their family. This sweet albino animal stood out next to the other baby elephants playing in the water. Apart from a pink-ish exterior, though, this little cutie was clearly one of the pack. A video of this adorable animal family has been going viral on TikTok, and it’s just too cute!
“A rare albino elephant calf was recently spotted playing by a waterhole in South Africa’s Kruger National Park,” wrote ABC News, adding, “A tour operator caught the ‘pink’ calf on camera hanging out with the herd and rolling around in the waterhole.”
According to Tsavo Trust, the odds of a baby elephant being born albino, or “pink,” are one in 10,000. However, life can be tough for these rare creatures. Due to their lack of pigmentation, albino elephants are more likely to experience sun damage. Additionally, many of these animals are rejected by their families at birth.
Thankfully, it looks like loving family members surround the baby “pink” elephant in Kruger National Park. We’re wishing all the best to this little albino sweetheart as they continue to grow!
