Mama Elephant Patiently Trying to Get Her Baby to Stop Playing With Humans Is Too Cute to Resist
Mama Elephant Patiently Trying to Get Her Baby to Stop Playing With Humans Is Too Cute to Resist originally appeared on PetHelpful.
Baby animals are curious, mostly friendly little ones who enjoy interacting with others and learning about the world around them. And if you're a parent, you know how stubborn kids can be when they want to (or don't want to!) do something you're telling them to do. Daily Mail Animals shared this adorable video of a baby elephant who made friends with some humans on safari in Tanzania, and the baby doesn't want to leave them!
Watch as the mom does everything she can to get her little one to step away from the jeep, all while keeping her cool. At one point, she even tries the classic 'mom move' of walking away, hoping her baby will follow; does the situation look familiar to anybody else?!
That mom is all of us when our kids won't listen! There's no way that we would've been able to keep our hands to ourselves and would've desperately wanted to reach out and touch the baby's cute little trunk! And was it just us, or did it look like the baby was smiling? The whole thing was just adorable!Comment
Our hearts can't take all this cuteness! We weren't the only ones smitten with the baby elephant. Viewers left hundreds of comments on Daily Mail Animals' video and some of them were too cute. @stonerspartan got more than 17 thousand likes when they pointed out, "Omg her nose wave at the end, like, 'Sorry, my bad' LOL!" @inappropriatesalad agreed, "She waved like Sorry about that, kids ya know?'"
Viewer @Brittany added, "Mama tried the 'Fine I'm leaving then! Bye' LOL!", and another commenter shared, "The baby is like what the heck is this thing, and the mum is just like the thing is not for little elephants let's go. Like I can hear the 'But muuuuummm'...."
@llorien75 made us laugh out loud when she shared, "Makes me wonder why we judge each other so much. Moming is such a universal thing, even the elephants are using the same failing because toddlers are harrrrd LOL!"
Commenter @firefam2006 joked, "Mama elephant just made eye contact with the driver and said, 'Could you really just freaking drive away now please?'!"
Reading through the comments was just as fun as watching the video, and both things totally made our day.
