It’s hard to imagine an elephant with more personality than Ollie, a two-year-old pachyderm living at the Nairobi Nursery in Kenya. He is a spunky young elephant<\/a> who recently showed us his inner gentleman tendencies, and honestly, he might just be the cutest animal on the planet.<\/p>\n

Ollie, short for Olomunyak, is one of the youngest rescued elephants<\/a> living at the nursery. In a recent Instagram post shared by @sheldricktrust, we get a quick glimpse of just how chill Ollie is and the special ways that he lets his personality shine through every single day.<\/p>\n

Every evening, when it\u2019s time for the baby elephants<\/a> to return to their stalls, they get some private time to reflect on their day. As we see in the clip, Ollie is most relaxed when he winds down for the night, but it\u2019s also the time of day when he gets a little playful and silly.<\/p>\n

As the video begins, it\u2019s clear the sweet elephant not only enjoys hay as a snack but also thinks it\u2019s the perfect accessory<\/a> to wear on his head. As the caption reads, \u201cA tasteful cap perched atop his head, legs crossed in relaxation, little Olomunyak is a picture of elephant contentment!\u201d<\/p>\n

After a fun day out in the park, he apparently decided bedtime was the perfect time to be creative, so he made himself a straw hat. But the best part of the whole scene<\/a> is Ollie standing with his legs crossed like he\u2019s having a full-on James Dean moment.<\/p>\n

He is a cool kid\u2014or elephant\u2014and clearly lives his life exactly the way that he wants to. While he may not wear pajamas, the perfect bedtime accessory is very important, and Ollie is just trying to stay on trend with the latest fashion.<\/p>\n
