This Baby Elephant Really Wants To Sit In A Camping Chair Like The Humans

July 23, 2025

At a rescue camp in Thailand, one baby elephant is learning that not everything in life is built for elephants—especially camp chairs.

In an absolutely adorable series of videos shared by Tusker Shelter, a "second chance" sanctuary for rescued elephants, a young elephant is seen trying his best to sit in fold-up camp chairs just like the humans around him.

The videos have melted hearts online, and it’s easy to see why!

Between his determination and confused flops, this little guy is basically an elephant-shaped toddler.
