Popular Post webfact Posted June 14, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2013 Baby Phuket elephant sees ocean for the first time PHUKET: -- A YouTube user has uploaded a video of what they say is an elephant in Phuket seeing the ocean for the very first time. The heartwarming footage, uploaded by user NancyBelal, inspired YouTube user Brendan Townsend to comment:"Whatever the circumstances behind this baby elephant and the scar on its face, take heart that it's getting the freedom to enjoy itself and have a great time."Man is the most sickening and twisted animal of all, but the better amongst us need a moment to lighten up and take pleasure from moments like these. That beautiful animal is enjoying itself and that's all that matters in this brief moment of time."User Q d said: "It's a good thing he brought his trunks with him. :)"Source: http://www.thephuketnews.com/baby-phuket-elephant-sees-ocean-for-the-first-time-video-40120.php-- Phuket News 2013-06-14 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaiyen Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I see he was drinking the seawater. Definately dont go near him till he has had a good dump ! Dogs are bad enough after they have been swimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakename Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Yeah, it was a very cute vid, but still dont forget the elephant that was electrocuted, what a waste. The guy that put the fence up should be hooked up to it for a while. Elephants seem to have a very hard and dangerous life in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbamboo Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 What a great video and how good to see him having such fun. Elephants are just such wonderful creatures and sometimes I feel Thailand doesn't deserve them. Would have loved to see him playing in the sea with a friend too !
