1. Oh, how precious!

That dear elephant and the kind, gentle man just melted my heart.

Thanks so much for posting this, red dog 1.

2. They are so clever and smart.

I worked at a zoo for a bunch of years but never worked with the elephants as I am rather small and everything about them is rather large but I did get to hang around then. They are so smart, often sweet and often clever. You treat them well and they paid it back. I loved being able to interact a bit with them.

This just cracked me up. You could see it in every part of that elephants body that they were having fun with an old trick. Thanks for posting this.

3. Wow

At least the elephant is not in a circus cage

It's a sanctuary.

He's talking and one comes up behind him, and slowly creeps his trunk up the the top back of, and over his head/hair down onto his face. Only when the trunk reaches his face does the reporter lose his cool, and cracks up. Adorable!
