As she balances on the ball she throws her snout in the air, revealing what looks like a smile.
Nandi is an African elephant who was born in August of 2014 at Reid Park Zoo, where she lives with her mom Semba and dad Mabu.
The zoo estimates that she weighs between 250 and 300lbs.
In the Zulu language, Nandi means ‘sweet’ or ‘fun’, and she’s definitely living up to her name.
The four-minute video was posted to Jukin Media on Monday.
