In this week’s top videos, third time’s the charm for Artemis 1, the most powerful space rocket, which is making its way to the Moon, after a series of delays.
A reporter in Kenya has his piece to camera interrupted by an adorably but nosy baby elephant, and keeping with the loveable tuskers theme, Melbourne Zoo welcomes a newborn elephant calf.
And then there’s the clip of a university student’s taking a much-need siesta on campus.

Got your nose!
As Alvin Kaunda films a piece to camera, reporting on the issues of drought in Kenya, a cheeky baby elephant decides to say hello.
Kaunda, the consummate professional, appears nonchalant and continues reporting as the elephant’s trunk drapes over his shoulder and travels to his ear, before taking his nose hostage – sending Kaunda and the videographer into a laughing fit.
The clip of Kaunda has since gone viral on social media, with many users marvelling at his ability to keep his composure for so long.

By any means necessary
Between the deadlines, mid-terms and late night study sessions, being a university student can be trying. No one understands this more than this University of Toronto student who decided to take a nap in the middle of campus. Mattress, blanket, and all.
@shxxd A very well deserved nap 😴 #fyp #uoft #toronto #lifestyle ♬ Forever – Labrinth

Sodium good!
What was it Mary Poppins said? “A cube of salt helps the medicine go down?” … Or something like that.
