Rihanna is turning into a regular Dr. Dolittle.

After all, the "Pour It Up" singer has been spending quite a bit of time with a variety of creatures during her tour stop in South Africa.

In one of her latest Instagram pics, the Barbadian beauty can be seen cozying up to a gigantic elephant!

"Mama Africa #safari," Rihanna captioned the photo of her placing her hands on the pachyderm's trunk while puckering up.

Earlier this week, the 25-year-old songstress bonded with a lion cub and a baby giraffe at a local animal sanctuary in Johannesburg.

A couple days later, the gal hit up a Cape Town aquarium where she came face-to-face with some adorable penguins.

All together now: Awww!

Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Rihanna decided to change things up a bit and do a little shark diving.

After South Africa, the pop star will bring her Diamonds World Tour to the Middle East.
