New Delhi: Babies could be tough to handle when they start throwing tantrums, and it gets all the more difficult if it’s a baby elephant! In an adorable video that has now gone viral, a baby elephant is seen crossing over a fence and tussling with its keeper in a bid to seize the bed he was sleeping on. The clip further shows the pachyderm playfully sneaking up on the man, jolting him awake and trying to push him off the bed.
The clip was shared by an Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Dr Samrat Gowda, who aptly tagged it with a message saying, “Hey! That’s my bed..get up..”
While initially struggling to jump over the fence, the video shows the elephant finally making its way out and trying to pull the mattress towards itself.
The keeper, too, joins in the fun as he playfully cuddles the elephant and tries to fight it off. However, the tusker jumps onto the bed and tries to wrench it from under its keeper. Not willing to give away the mattress, the man manages to hold on and sends the pachyderm crashing into a pile of leaves. But it soon frees itself and has another go at the bed.
This time, the baby elephant manages to dislodge its keeper and falls onto the mattress and turns over to sleep. However, the man is seen cuddling up beside the pachyderm and clasping it from the side in a cosy embrace.
The clip has gone viral with netizens delighted over the video. Some reacted saying, “Very nice… They can understand each other for entertainment of happy mood,” while another wrote, “Cutest video on the internet today!”
