What began as a hug quickly escalated into playful interactions, with the baby elephant kissing the man on the head and curling up in his lap.
“Oh, you want to cuddle,” the delighted man remarked as the baby elephant continued to nuzzle and playfully interact with him, even tinkering with his hat.
Despite the initial surprise, the man reciprocated the affection, creating a serene and joyful atmosphere.
This sanctuary provides a haven for elephants rescued from abusive environments, emphasizing rehabilitation and care.
