Baby Elephant Interrupts Reporter Alvin Kaunda, Social Media Video Goes Viral
On November 11, a lovely baby elephant interrupted a reporter’s live coverage in Kenya.
Alvin Kaunda was reporting for KBC 1 about the effects of droughts and human activity on animals.
It highlighted the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi, which cares for drought-affected juvenile elephants.
Young elephants were in the background as Alvin was reporting and speaking to the camera.
One of the elephants rubbed Alvin’s ear, head, and nose with his trunk.
The reporter kept a straight face and continued his reporting, but he soon caved.
Baby Elephant enjoys playing with KBC Reporter.
“It is up to us to be guardians of the natural world,” he is heard saying, urging everyone to help rescue the endangered species.
Soon later, he is delightfully disturbed by the animal.
When the trunk ended up in Alvin’s mouth, he burst out laughing.
Kenya is experiencing its worst drought in 40 years, killing over a thousand animals, including over 200 elephants.
512 wildebeests, 381 common zebras, 51 buffaloes, 49 Grevy’s zebras, and 12 giraffes are among the other creatures.
We must act quickly to halt the frightening rate of species extinction.
Experts have recommended supplying water and salt licks in impacted areas, particularly in Amboseli, Tsavo, and Laikipia Samburu.
What Was Alvin Kaunda’s Reaction To The Incident?
Reporter Alvin Kaunda later recounted the amusing incident,
saying he expected the elephants to be around but did not anticipate them to be that near to him.
It was his first time at the trust, and he wanted to have a good experience with the elephants.
He felt the elephant’s trunk brush against his back but chose to keep going because it was his tenth
take in front of the camera. Despite the fact that the trunk tickled him, he attempted to remain calm.
Alvin was convinced that nothing could stop him, but the creature’s cuteness weakened his resolve.
He went on to say that the trunk emitted no odor. He stated that he would have been if it had a bad odor.
