THE WILD — You may be tired of hearing about the many places people attach GoPro cameras to film new or unique angles during a myriad of activities, but elephants aren't.

This short yet sweet video shows the reaction of a herd of elephants when they come across a GoPro camera. It's unclear if the elephants are roaming around in the wild, in an animal preserve or some sort of wild animal park, but it is clear that they are curious creatures when they happen upon something unfamiliar.

It appears that the elephants are only slightly wary at first, but their curiosity gets the better of them, and more than one elephant vies for a turn to snuffle out and handle the strange object.

I can almost guarantee the video will make you smile. If it doesn't, try this video of a baby elephant rescue or this video of an adorably stuck baby elephant. I'm here for your elephant-entertainment needs.

Bonus: If you've ever wondered what the end of an elephant's trunk looks like up close, there's a tight nostril shot for your pleasure in the video.
