An adult elephant is a physically formidable animal, but before they’re fully grown, they need plenty of affection and care. Luckily, neither was in short supply for this three-week-old as it adorably cuddled up to a woman humming lullaby.
The video was posted by the Chai Lai Orchid nature reserve in Thailand, and shows a woman humming a peaceful lullaby as an adorable baby elephant falls asleep in her lap. The reserve and eco-tourism destination is working to build a sanctuary for elephants, so they can be free from the horrors of poaching and trekking.
The woman, Allie, has lived with the three-week-old elephant from the day it was born, and the two have formed a very special bond.
As the woman sang, the baby elephant blissfully fell asleep on her lap.
Even though the elephant is just three weeks old, it’s still way too big to fit in the woman’s lap.
