Touching moment when baby elephant cuddling volunteer  at Chai Lai Orchid

Size doesn’t matter when it comes to a love of cuddling. Just ask this 1-month-old baby elephant in the Asian nation of Thailand.

At the Chai Lai Orchid ecolodge, the baby elephant recently took a liking to a human being named Allie.

Wanting a warm hug, the placid long-trunked behemoth decides to go in for the kіɩɩ — kіɩɩeг cuddling of course.

Even though it is only a few weeks old, the adorable Ьeаѕt is already nearing the size of the adult human who lavishes it with attention.

In addition to amusing audiences across the Internet with this cute little petting session, Chai Lai Orchid is also hoping to raise awareness for the care of the gentle giant and its family.

“After two years of watching this herd of elephants be used for mass tours, The Chai Lai Orchid is trying to гeѕсᴜe this family of elephants and create a sanctuary for them in Northern Thailand. It’s a long road аһeаd, but we can do it with your help,” says the Orchid in the video description.
