Case in point, a video shared on Twitter involving a gentle giant and its meal. There is also a possibility that the video will leave you saying “aww” – and that too more than once.

“I once saw a mommy elephant pluck some fresh grass by the lakeside, rinse it in the waters of the lake and feed it to the baby elephant. Such a cute thing it was. At Periyar Thekkady reserve,” shared a Twitter user. “So selective in picking grass,” shared another. “Very choosy elephant,” expressed a third.
