This baby elephant was caught scratching an itch on its rear in Kruger National Park, South Africa.<br /><br />Footage shows the little one rubbing its butt on the muddy ground close to its herd on June 28.<br /><br />The filmer told Newsflare: ''The baby elephant got itself sitting down it its bum, looking really adorable. It was clear that the urgency to get onto its bum was a great itch. <br /><br />''The baby elephant then started scratching its bum on the ground, moving forward and backwards. <br /><br />''This was really funny to watch as the method used by this baby elephant is not common among elephants due to their size. <br /><br />''Usually they will scratch those hard to reach places against a rock or tree trunk in attempt to get rid of pesky ticks and insects stuck to their skins. <br /><br />''This baby elephant didn’t waste time finding a tree trunk or a rock and its innovative and awkward way of enjoying a good bum scratch was the overall highlight of this sighting. <br /><br />''After the good bum scratch, the baby elephant got up, satisfied and relieved from the great itch and slowly moved back into the herd.''
