Yawning elephant?

• by Boleyn moderator

  @Corcaroli likes to know if this is a yawn at the end of the clip: ACP000d0mc and ACP000d0md

  S/he certainly does look a bit bored 😄

  No, I don´t think this is a yawn...but do think that he (?) is bored 😄

  this elephant is only scratching his/her head and ears.

  When elephants yawn, it would start by a slow opening of the mouth, then a frozen open mouth position and then ending with a fast closure...

  look at this video: I love the first elephant yawning: he gives his best, like there was no tomorrow 😄
