00:00Back at the Elephant Hospital, the in-patients have a spring in their step.
00:16Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.
00:20Because there's nothing they enjoy more than to head to one of the ponds for a bit of hydrotherapy.
00:30Incredible.
00:37Back at the other one, it's just joy, unbridled joy.
00:44Look at that, one's climbing on the back of the other one.
00:51These guys are a bonded family.
01:00They love each other.
01:01They're always touching and squeaking to each other.
01:04And you can sense it, it's like a family holiday.
01:06It's like, you know, when you go with your brother, sister, your mum and dad to the beach.
01:10It's great.
01:24Elephants are the biggest land mammal on Earth.
01:26So they're like three and a half tons.
01:27That's a lot of weight and pressure on your joints all day.
01:29In the water, it's like zero gravity.
01:39The elephant's trunk is one of the most amazing tools in the animal kingdom.
01:42It can even be used as a snorkel, which allows them to breed when fully submerged on the water.
01:46That allows them to cross rivers, to migrate huge distances and open up new territories.
01:51It's a fantastic adaptation.
02:00Baby rolling over, I'm not going to try and be scientific about it.
02:02It's just pure, unadulterated joy.
02:05And it's amazing to see.
02:21Why?
02:22The town of Earth is another.
02:23As an artist.
02:24Mrs.
