It's no surprise that a dog loves playing catch — but an elephant?
狗狗喜歡玩接球游戲不奇怪，但為什么大象也愛？

Our charming pictures show Bubbles, a rescued orphan elephant, picking up a ball with her trunk to tease Bella the labrador, who can just about reach her pal’s knee.
在這組非常贊的圖片中，被營救的孤兒大象Bubbles 和拉布拉多犬Bella 在玩接球游戲，Bubbles用象鼻撿起球逗Bella，Bella只能夠到自己小伙伴的膝蓋。
