Derrick, the elephants’ caretaker, and five elephants were strolling alongside a river in a natural area of Tʜᴀɪʟᴀɴᴅ when this incident took place. Derrick appeared to be getting pushed away by the tide while submerged at one moment. Fortunately for him, his elephant bravely and without hesitation rushed to his aid.

Did the man appear desperate, though? He’s not in that much danger, in fact. The elephant kept running in his direction, lifting him with his trunk so he might grip onto him and sprint away. The bravery of his elephant won the admiration of many Internet users, who have since seen the footage more than 20 million times, despite the fact that the guy was certainly not in danger.

This tiny elephant simply adores her favorite person, and she is not about to let anything bad happen to him. As this story indicates, a big elephant’s love for their caregiver is incredibly great and they may even put themselves in danger for the benefit of their loved one.

Despite how adorable their relationship may be, it teaches us a more significant lesson: When we treat animals well, the benefits can last a lifetime.

Let’s watch the moment in the video below:
