An Adorable Baby Elephant Has Gone Viral After Finding Herself in a Pretty Embarrassing Situation That Will Make You Smile
A baby elephant’s awkward moment in the woods has turned into a feel-good viral clip, and it is easy to see why people are smiling. The young calf tried to clamber over a fallen tree near Chowkham, India, only to get briefly stuck in the middle of the attempt.
Phantom, a 2-year-old calf, was walking with his mother, Maruti, and his older sibling, Babulal, while locals kept an eye on the family as they moved through the backwoods. The little elephant pushed ahead anyway, and the result was a clumsy but charming struggle that ended with him getting across after a bit of effort.
It is a tiny reminder that even elephants can have an off moment, and this one was caught on camera at just the right time.
Phantom Comes Across a Hindrance...
Elephants are the largest land mammals on the planet, characterized by their enormous bodies, huge ears, and long trunks. Their trunks help them pick up objects, greet other elephants, blow trumpets, and suck up water for drinking or washing, among other things.
The Little Baby Elephant is Very Persistent
Both male and female African elephants have tusks, and each individual can be left-tusked or right-tusked. The tusk they use the most is usually smaller due to frequent usage, as elephant tusks serve many purposes.
These elongated teeth can be used to secure the elephant's trunk, pack food, lift and move objects, and strip bark from trees. Additionally, during droughts, elephants even use their tusks to find water underground by digging holes.
Elephants need vast land areas to survive and meet their natural needs. When elephants encounter each other, one might touch the other’s face, or they might intertwine their trunks.
This trunk intertwining is similar to a human handshake in that it can serve similar functions such as greetings and affirmations, as well as a way of comparing strengths.
That little detour made the clip even more charming.
That frantic parent response is similar to a baby elephant rescue in a Thai national park after a manhole tumble.

Elephants are herbivores, so they eat a wide variety of plants. An elephant can feed for as long as 18 hours on average and consume hundreds of pounds of plant matter in one day.
Did you know that an adult elephant eats around 220 pounds of food and drinks 100 liters of water each day? Oh, well... Leave your thoughts about this adorable baby elephant below.
What a tiny struggle for such a big animal.
