Sugarcane is one of favourite food of elephants. In captivity sugarcane is an integral part of the diet plan. To provide energy. pic.twitter.com/IsjJDQCx2k
One user wrote, “Part on the wheels”. Another added, “Life is a truckload of sugarcane”. “Good one. doing it judiciously by not pulling down the entire lot or was it a plan to drive this sugarcane load truck side by side to keep the elephants happy all the way,” wrote another.
Breakfast is in middle of road.

'Adorable elephant'
Another video showing a baby elephant demanding his keeper's attention and refusing to take a 'no' for an answer went viral. In the video, one could see the baby elephant reaching through his enclosure and tapping his keeper on the leg with his trunk. Further, in the video, the keeper was also seen ignoring the animal but the playful elephant continued prodding him till he responded.
According to reports, the video was shot at the Mae-Sa Elephant Camp in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The one-year-old elephant is named Khunsuk and his keeper, Dan Daeng takes care of him. In the video, the 20-year-old Daeng was also seen standing up and grinning in exasperation while Khunsuk climbs onto the fence and affectionately pulls him closer using his trunk.
In this adorable video, a young #elephant affectionately reaches out to the fence painter who plays with the animal. The elephant's playfulness is a treat for the eyes! A great instance of human-animal coexistence. @WWFINDIA @moefcc @PrakashJavdekar @wti_org_india @natgeowild pic.twitter.com/uUaEFTdz8C
