All through the scene, the calf’s grandmother kept on eating calmly, without stopping the baby from destroying her meals.
The baby was called a ‘menace’ online, as parents of young children lamented the video is not too different from what they experience at home.
The clip shows the elephant walking around the cake to get a slice of watermelon, but the animal ended up stepping right on it and destroying it.
As the calm grandmother tried to catch food with her trunk, the baby could be seen circling the confection, slipping on the food and spreading it all over the grass.
The little elephant, who, it seemed, didn’t know how to use his trunk properly to feed himself, buried his head in the food turning the white cake into a brown sludge.
After some time, he managed to grab a bit of watermelon with his trunk and to guide it to his mouth.However, it seemed the baby elephant was not a fan, and he quickly spat it out on the cake, before moving on to another section of the cake that had miraculously remained untouched.
He once again buried his head in the cake, while his grandmother kept eating the bits she could reach without paying the calf any attention.
Giving up on the snack, the baby decided to lay on the food, blocking it from his grandmother, who still managed to grab a slice of watermelon.
At this stage, the baby’s truck and body were covered in food, and his grandmother gave a very relatable stare to the camera.
People loved the video, but sympathised with the grandmother. Parents of young children said they could relateAfter his rampage was over, the baby stood up and grabbed a slice of watermelon like nothing happened.
He had reduced the pretty food platter into bits that spread it from their black plate to the grace.
The video was shared online, and parents of young children found it very relatable.
‘Why are toddlers of every species a menace,’ one wrote.
‘A menace and she knows it. When she picked up that one little bit of fruit after sitting on the cake,’ one agreed.
