Posted by Connor Whelan on 13th Oct 2016

These giants of the animal world are amongst some of the cutest animals on the planet when they are young; with their long trunks and floppy ears only adding to their charm. That's why we've decided to bring you our top 8 cute elephants, so let's see if you can show us a cuter one!
