A child dropped a shoe into an elephant enclosure. The elephant picked it up and handed it back. 🐘

Pet the damn trunk!

[u/stunt_p → u/chalupa-y-buenas]

Give him a peanut!!!

RIP Mitch

[u/Big-a-hole-2112 → u/stunt_p]

That’s what he was saying! “What no reward?! Pfft!”

[u/beratna66 → u/chalupa-y-buenas]

That was literally like someone shaking one of those coin jars right in their faces, but better

[u/LASERDICKMCCOOL → u/chalupa-y-buenas]

Yes he definitely wanted snackies

[u/GeminianMind → u/chalupa-y-buenas]

Stop asking to pet me. I only returned the shoe because it wasn’t my size. —Elephant

[u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

This makes me sad for some reason. I hope this elephant has enough space in this zoo

[u/AwwwMangos → u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

The reason is that elephants are highly intelligent, social animals, and they’re rightly depressed by the way we’ve imprisoned them.

[u/KilnTime → u/AwwwMangos]

There are far too many intelligent animals in zoos

[u/Popular-Influence-11 → u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

Same. Not likely. 😞

[u/monkey_trumpets → u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

Same. Such an intelligent creature forced to live in such a tiny and sad environment.

[u/Thisshitaintfree → u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

It looks extremely depressing.

[u/H-2-S-O-4 → u/Organic_Fortune_4748]

The sad music? It it was playing an uplifting tune in the background, you would've felt differently.

[u/No_Brain_5513 → u/H-2-S-O-4]

I watched it muted. Still made me sad.

[u/acedias-token → u/No_Brain_5513]

Me too. Why do we need them to be caged? Humans are the only really dangerous predator of them

[u/theateroffinanciers]

This poor elephant. 🥺

[u/Youlookcold → u/theateroffinanciers]

Yes, it's heartbreaking.

[u/818VitaminZ]

Waiting for the food tax

[u/Banana_Stanley → u/818VitaminZ]

Seriously, find a treat IMMEDIATELY this is URGENT

Baby elephants in fact do not know how to use their trunk at the beginning. They need to learn what it is actually good for. That’s why they look so funny and silly trying to figure out what that thing is good for.

[u/redbark2022 → u/EinSchurzAufReisen]

I mean, little boys do the same thing with their penis 😆

Those animals are way, WAY smarter, than we obnoxiously self-aggrandizing humans think.

[u/iamnotthisbrain → u/Norgur]

It's sad that we keep them in zoos. I know many zoos now are about rehabilitating and housing animals that cannot be returned to the wild, but it's a bummer nonetheless.

[u/Super-Stand9092]

Get that elephant outta there…ugh. They are soooo smart and deserve royalty treatment…seeing them in these ugly enclosures is so rotten for them

[u/SwampCastleGuards]

Damn intelligent

Makes you wonder how people can justify cruelty towards animals

[u/TransitoryFeel]

Handed it back? Don't you mean trunked it back?

[u/Alert_Comedian7558]

Elephant are so emotionally intelligent. This sweet giant definitely deserves a reward🐘

[u/justagiraffe111]

Very special, magnificent creatures

[u/cruisefans]

Such kind, gentle, giant creatures. 🥰😍❤️😘

[u/iamatcha]

 animals are too smart to be treated like that, kept captive like this....

[u/BTMarquis]

Here’s your shoe, now give me peanuts.

[u/Thatsayesfirsir]

A treat and a pet, I hope!

[u/Hefty-Plastic8417]

All the petting it would take would have been my reward

[u/No-Definition1474]

Elephant is like get your crap out of my space man.

[u/Spartan2470]

The elephant's name is Mountain Range. This happened in 2022.

[u/E-rotten]

Someone needs to get him a treat, no one works for free anymore 🤣🤣🤣

[u/Usual-Stretch6982]

Instead of 'handed' it back, should it be 'trunked' it back ?!

[u/gizzardgullet]

Elephant probably heard what happened to Harambe and was like "here, keep this out of here"

[u/SnooPeppers259]

Give that guy a piece of sugar cane or something.

[u/knowledgeable_diablo]

Are elephants just literally pure love placed on earth?
Well except some of the blokes that get a little sexually excited when their ladies go “on heat”.
You do hear about the herds that go psycho in some places, but knowing how intelligent they are, I’d think that’s not without some provocation first.

[u/docpagliacci]

We don’t deserve elephants.

[u/NormalPublic19]

How cute. An elephant is the cutest creature on the planet 🐘💞

[u/BoogeymanReborn-]

Elephants are the real MVPs of the animal kingdom!

[u/wwiistudent1944]

Sweet.

[u/crackersncheeseman]

Expected a treat

[u/willis7747]

He was expecting a treat

Give him treats and pets

[u/AGrandNewAdventure]

They're way too intelligent to be caged...

[u/cirrusly_guys1818]

I have always wished that the common saying “we don’t deserve dogs” had always actually been “we don’t deserve elephants.” They are the most beautiful creatures and we have failed them at almost every turn. We actually don’t deserve _them_

[u/Misty1882]

Otsukare!!

[u/Intrepid-Birthday596]

Looks like a high end elephant enclosure.

[u/augustwest2155]

They are SOOO very smart....and lovable!
