This is the comical moment an elephant splashes around in a refreshing pool of mud on a sunny day at Oregon Zoo. Footage captured inside the 64-acre zoo in Portland shows 12-year-old elephant Samudra rolling around in the pool of mud in an effort stay cool in the heat. As staff at the zoo spray water at him, Samudra lifts his legs in the air and rolls from side to side in the mud. He then stands up and kicks his legs through the muddy water, splashing anyone in his vicinity. The playful elephant, who lives in the zoo with his sister Lily, was the first third-generation elephant born in the United States.
