Not only are elephants one of the most intelligent and powerful creatures to roam the planet, they're also very gentle and in need of love, just like humans.


A pachyderm's need for affection was especially evident when a female elephant in a Thailand park got the attention of the animal park's founder and tour guide, Lek Chailert, so she could sing a lullaby to a baby elephant.

Watch the video here:



It was just another ordinary day at Thailand's Elephant Nature Park, where the magnificent animals roam freely and interact with visitors.

Elephant Nature Park is an elephant rescue and rehabilitation center in Northern Thailand. They have been involved in dozens of rescues which have created a thriving elephant herd.

The park provides a natural environment for elephants, dogs, cats, buffaloes and many other animals too.

Park founder Lek Chailert, a major part of the film Love & Banana's: An Elephant Story, was in the middle of posing for a picture with park visitors, when she was suddenly interrupted and coaxed away from her group.

She wrote about the incident under the description of the video post on YouTube.

"While I was meeting with visitors, FaaMai suddenly intruded our talk with clear intent."

"She pushed me along out into the field, directing me somewhere and I wondered what it was that she really wanted."

The female elephant, FaaMai, continued to nudge Chailert along a path with her trunk.

Suddenly, the animal's intent became clear when they approached a baby elephant, Thong Ae.

"Finally FaaMai took me to see the little Thong Ae, whom she wants to adopt as her own."

Chailert realized that FaaMai was trying to coax her into singing a lullaby to calm Thong Ae for a nap.

"In the end, it sees [sic] as if FaaMai wanted me to lullaby her little friend, as she is so fond when i sing a lullaby to her."

After being soothed by Chailert singing The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Thong Ae finally settled down and eventually fell asleep.

"It is so beautiful to see my little girl who has such a heart of care. I am so proud of this girl!"

Conservatives Predictably Outraged After Mattel Introduces New Barbie With Type 1 Diabetes

Conservatives lashed out at toymaker Mattel after the company introduced a new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes, including an insulin pump and blood sugar tracker—an action they say is "woke" while not understanding the difference between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.

Mattel revealed a new partnership with Breakthrough T1D— formerly known as the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation—to launch a Barbie doll that authentically represents people living with Type 1 diabetes. The collaboration, Mattel said, ensures the doll “truly captures the community,” including accessories that “accurately reflect the medical equipment” commonly used by individuals with the condition.

MAGA Influencer Charlie Kirk Called Out After Blaming DEI For High Death Toll In Texas Flooding Disaster

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
