An elephant using a fore- or hind-foot to scratch its own body, typically the genitals or inner legs. All age/sex groups are observed to Scratch-with-Foot. Scratch-with-Foot is very common among newborn infants.
Little E is 7 days old. Each time he gets an erection or partial erection he uses his foot to try to scratch it. It seems that perhaps it feels strange to him. This behavior is typical of infants. (Maasai Mara, Kenya)
