Shared by TikTok user bohjankl on the platform, the family, who was on a vacation at Tasik Keyir spotted the elephants while on a houseboat.

In the video, 3 elephants, likely to be a family, can be seen expertly swimming in the lake with their trunks above water. Furthermore, the elephants don’t seem to mind the presence of the humans and the houseboat and continued their swim without much fuss.

At the end of the 44-second video, the 3 elephants, comprising two adults and one infant can be seen reaching the shore.

Not only that, the elephants can also be seen waving their trunks as if responding to the Malaysian family that was recording their swim across Tasik Kenyir.
