Two wild deer enjoying playing in puddle in forest

This is the adorable moment two does pranced around a puddle in a Thai forest.

Footage from a camera trap shows the animals splashing and skipping around in the muddy water at the Si Phang Nga National Park in Phang Nga province on August 26.

Staff said the small pool was frequently used as a 'jacuzzi' by the forest animals.

Thailand is home to several deer species like the large Sambar deer and the endangered Eld's deer. They are found across wildlife sanctuaries such as the Khao Yai National Park and Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary. However, the deer are under pressure from habitat loss and human encroachment.

Conservation efforts include animal protection laws and habitat restoration to protect the biodiversity of the country's woodlands.
