Do you love watching videos of elephants? Then there is a chance that you already follow Sheldrick Wildlife Trust on Instagram. The organisation rescue and take care of elephants. They also work towards releasing the baby elephants back into the world. They recently posted a video that shows a sweet interaction between a baby elephant and a keeper.
“An elephant snuggle session. They may weigh about 250 pounds at birth, but elephant calves are just like any other baby. Aside from practical needs, they also thrive off physical affection and lots of interaction. Keepers like Joseph provide this care around the clock, ensuring every orphan grows up knowing the love and support of a family,” they wrote while posting the video.
The video opens to show the keeper lying on the ground. The baby elephant is seen partially perched on top the man giving him hugs. The smile on the man’s face and the baby elephant’s gestures make the video a delight to watch.
