An adorable video of a baby elephant has yet again left internet users with a warm and fuzzy feeling. A short clip of Maktao, the baby elephant, engaged in a very special ‘mission’ to get back to the bottles of milk has left netizens in awe. The video shared by Sheldrick Wildlife, which is a rescue, rehabilitation and release centre for baby tuskers shows Maktao drinking milk from a big feeding bottle. 

In the 39-second-clip, one can see Maktao running behind a person, who is probably a keeper at the centre. The duo can then be seen entering into an enclosure after which the camera pans inside the place and the adorable scene of Maktao drinking milk from the feeding bottle unfolds. The wildlife centre in the caption also informed that the ‘orphans’ sleep in stockades in a bid to offer them ‘warmth and protection’.
