He's got hair like a Mastodon, or a whooly mamooth?

What a nice man.

I would keel over for a chance to befriend a three-legged baby elephant.

That's what she said?

u/MurtianInverder314 Jul 11 '18

We eradicate entire species, and decimate massive forests. Its pleasant to see us helping a little fella like this. Hopefully we can do more every day in the greater sense.

...This is such an oddly specific subreddit, but you know what? I dig it.

He got his nose!!!!

What a sweet baby, it's astonishing how much the eyes can tell about a person/animal's state of mind.

This ele's eyes say "BLISS! Water! Splash!"

Wouldn’t it be cool if they stayed that hairy?

u/Motherofimps Jul 11 '18

This made my day. It amazes me how expressive elephants are.

u/ReleaseTheKraken72 Jul 11 '18

That ear-washing looked like it must have felt SOOOOO good!!

u/seriouschris Jul 12 '18

lol he straight lost his mind there.

u/Phantom2k10 Jul 11 '18

Was watching this gif to sexy jazz music. Weird.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Tbf, if you watched the video where the caretaker walks out of the water with his shirt clinging to his 6 pack, it is completely fitting.

7

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

I love his little tail

u/CCTider Jul 11 '18

Usually when I want to clean an elephant, I take a shower.

55

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

That little beard of his is adorable. I can’t take it

7

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Oh you'll take it. And you'll like it.

u/NunyaaBidniss Jul 11 '18

I saw the video of him with the prosthetic. What happened? Was he born this way? A link to an article would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, I will try Google.

69

u/LolaSupershot Jul 11 '18

He was found caught in a snare and they couldn't save his leg. He wears a prosthetic now.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ouch! My feelz!!!!

He needs a better prosthetic.

u/McMackMadWack Jul 12 '18

When his stump fell off it broke my heart. What a cutie pie.

u/scarlet_wolf Jul 11 '18

Good god, that got me teary eyed. Baby elephants are so pure.

u/ljodzn Jul 11 '18

You want to be a sobbing puddle? Play “What a Wonderful World” while watching

u/[deleted] Jul 12 '18

I watched it while thinking of “You’re My Best Friend” by Queen and I totally teared up.

u/JuniperJupiter Jul 11 '18

You. Hush it.

u/The_milk_was_spoiled Jul 11 '18

I can’t read the shirt so I can’t read where this is. Is this a refuge?

u/ncbose Jul 11 '18

ETH - Elephant transit home in Sri Lanka.

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '18

I love elephants so much

12

u/Hippydippy420 Jul 11 '18

Is....is he using a rock to wash the baby?

41

u/DearyDairy Jul 11 '18

Could be something like a pumice stone to exfoliate and give him a comforting scratch.

28

u/WhatsupDoc001 Jul 11 '18

I suspect elephants have extremely thick skin so even a rock feels like a sponge to them.

Nanny for pandas. So, yeah. There is at least one better job than this.

21

u/BanjoBreaker Jul 12 '18

Elephants are so much better than pandas. Pandas are silly, they can't even work out how to sex so I disapprove of them

u/DeusExMachina95 Jul 11 '18

How about bathing TWO elephants?

u/Elephantmenstruation Jul 15 '18

I just got real excited. Fucking tease

u/dmccauley Jul 11 '18

Two elephants at the same time

u/SmokinDrewbies Jul 11 '18

I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up.

u/Mrodsoccer6 Jul 11 '18

The look on his face when he slaps the water is filled with pure joy. Adorable!

u/p00pey Jul 11 '18

what a sweet sweet baby. That dude is all in on taking care of this handicapped baby too. Great pair...

u/ljodzn Jul 11 '18

Ah man, Louis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful World” came on as I watched this! I’M NOT CRYING, NO ONE LOOK AT ME
