This video, also known as “Arthur Gets Owned by a Baby Elephant,” shows a tiny two-month-old elephant playing with a young tourist in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Please note that by “tiny” we mean “enormous” and by “playing with” we mean “sitting on.” Getting sat on by a baby elephant doesn’t sound so bad until you realize that a baby elephant weighs 220 lbs (100kg)… at birth. Don’t worry, no tourists nor elephants were harmed in the making of this video.
For those who can’t be bothered to watch the video, here are the highlights:
▲ Come here little baby!
▲ Aww, that’s right! You’re so cute!
▲ Whoa there!
▲ Wait a tick!
▲ This was a bad idea.
▼ Watch the video here.
