Even Elephant Needs Love Like Humans: Watch video

Not only human being even animals want to be loved. Perhaps that is the reason many of the animals allow us to pet them.

We have come across many instances in films where the protagonist gets immense love as well as power by befriending with an animal. If we tell about Bollywood film ‘Tarzan’, the hero doesn’t know about the civil society, rather he thinks himself one among the animals of the forest.

In this context a video has recently surfaced where we can see the caretaker of an elephant is first getting permission from his elephant friend and then kissing it. A rare event for sure.

IFS officer Susanta Nanda has shared the video on his personal twitter handle.

Love is a language which all understands💕
