SAN DIEGO, CA — Although most San Diegans want "Sunny San Diego" to be sunny again, one resident is happy with the wet weather.

Nipho, a 12-year-old African male elephant who lives at the San Diego Zoo, was caught on camera this week "dancing" in the rain as the latest in a series of strong winter storms brought more rain to the San Diego region.

Staff members captured Nipho running, trumpeting and splashing through puddles at the San Diego Zoo's Elephant Odyssey habitat.
