These Baby Elephants Play Soccer By Their Own Rules… And It’s 100% Awesome

It’s official: World Cup Fever is spreading. Even the baby elephants have started playing soccer at a nursery in Nairobi…

Believe it or not, these elephants weren’t trained to play soccer. “Elephants naturally kick things about,”  Joyce Poole, codirector of Elephant Voices told National Geographic. “When they’re out in the bush, they’ll pick things up, like sticks or rocks, and kick things. They do a lot with their feet and trunks.”

Sounds to me like elephants are just naturally huge football fans…
