This is the moment four Asian elephants enjoyed their first swim of the summer at a UK safari park - followed by a dust bath.<br /><br />Females Yu-Zin, Chandrika, Damini and Tarli wallowed in Drakeloe Lake at Woburn Safari Park in Bedfordshire earlier this month.<br /><br />As part of their enrichment, the female elephants at the park have the opportunity to roam around 500 acres of private woodland in the Woburn estate.<br /><br />Drakeloe Lake is part of their stomping ground, and the group use it as their own private swimming pool during warmer months.<br /><br />In the footage, the females venture into the lake and use their long, powerful trunks as snorkels to dive into the water.<br /><br />Later, they can be seen distributing dust and dirt over their bodies on a nearby bank as a natural way of keeping their skin healthy.
