TAWAU: A video showing a person encountering several elephants in a plantation area has gone viral on social media, drawing amused reactions from netizens.
The clip, shared on Facebook by user
Tatap Ibanz Tawau Bha, shows what appear to be young elephants walking along a path in a palm-oil plantation.
In the video caption, the uploader joked that after repeatedly calling out, the “mother elephant” eventually appeared, prompting laughter among viewers.
Some commenters noted that baby elephants separated from their herd may approach humans playfully, but warned that the situation could become dangerous if the mother elephant suddenly appears.
One user said encountering a mother elephant whose calf is nearby could trigger an aggressive reaction as the animal may think its young is being threatened.
Others reacted humorously, with one commenter joking that the elephants were simply “looking for their child” and another remarking that the animals seemed to be “having a conversations".
