One adorable elephant is going viral. The video shows a baby elephant escaping from her herd to help a man. The man in question does not seem to require rescuing, but the baby elephant is adamant about helping out.

While wild animals can never be truly tamed, that fact does not stop us from falling in love with them. There is something majestic about a pride of lions. Elephants are known for having intimate, strong connections. They are social creatures that can live for decades.

In this heartwarming video, one elephant shows all of the reasons why this animal is so beloved. The elephant in the video is named Kham Lha. She starts out with her herd along the riverbank. While the herd is grazing on delectable plants, Kham Lha notices something off in the distance.

Her favorite human, Darrick, is in the river.

The elephant's joy quickly turns to fear because she thinks that Darrick is drowning. She rushes into the river to save his life. As you can see in the video, Darrick is perfectly safe. He is just swimming along in the river, but Kham Lha thinks that he needs help. 

When Kham Lha gets closer to Darrick, he gives her a heartwarming hug. He thanks the elephant for trying to save his life. The adorable video is just another reminder of how loving and smart animals are.

The tiny elephant is a part of the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand. Kham Lha and her herd are rescued elephants that came from the tourism industry. The baby elephant was rescued in 2015. Since her rescue, she has bonded with humans like Darrick. Videos of the adorable baby have gone viral because of her cute antics and kind heart.
