Animals are often more human than humans themselves, and we can learn a lot from them. Recently, a video captured a baby elephant trying to save a man that he thought was drowning.

The video was shared by a Twitter user with the caption:

“My heart. This baby elephant thought he was drowning and rushed to save him. We really don’t deserve them.”1

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. The video shows a herd of elephants in an elephant sanctuary strolling by a river, when suddenly a man (who may work at the sanctuary, we are not sure) appears in the frame who seems to be enjoying a swim in the water.

RELATED STORY:

One of the baby elephants thinks that the man is drowning and rushes to save him. The man is swimming away from the baby elephant but later realizes his intention.

The baby elephant then very sweetly comes and protects the man from the current of the water, and the man can be heard saying “thank you” to the elephant.

This is the sweetest thing we have seen today. How could anyone hurt one of these majestic creatures? Hope you enjoy.
