A heart-melting video of a baby elephant’s determined—and adorably clumsy—attempt to sit on a foldable chair is capturing hearts all over the internet.
Shared by Tusker Shelter, a Thailand-based elephant rescue and sanctuary, the video has already racked up more than 12,000 views on Instagram. And it’s not hard to see why.
In the clip, the playful young elephant is seen repeatedly trying to settle itself onto a small, foldable chair, clearly enchanted by the idea of having its own little seat. With every attempt, the chair wobbles, tips, and eventually collapses under the weight of the tiny giant. Undeterred, the elephant keeps trying, even as the chair gives up the battle. A kind human off-camera steps in to reset the chair, hoping to give the baby another chance—but alas, it’s just not built for elephants!
Viewers around the world are smitten. From animal lovers to casual scrollers, everyone seems to agree: this is the wholesome content we didn’t know we needed.
One user gushed, “A for effort little guy. So cute. 🥰”
Another commented, “OMG!! Cutest video ever! Someone make this baby a stronger chair—he wants to sit and wait for his breakfast!!”
Honestly? Same. — India Today
