A heartwarming video has gone viral which shows a baby elephant helping a tortoise resting in the middle of the road to move away from the road. The video shows the elephant pushing the tortoise with its trunk and the tortoise realizes it and crawls down to a side getting the hint. The 23-second video clip shows the elephant waiting for the tortoise to move to a safer side of the road and is not in danger of being hit by passing the vehicle.
IFS Parveen Kaswan shared the video on Twitter
This #elephant calf is teaching a lesson: #Animals have first right of the way. Opposite to the person who behaved yesterday on road while staff blocked road to give way to a Jumbo.

You know what is most difficult part of #wildlife management. Managing the #humans. Even after blocking the road by staff this person decided to cross it while others were waiting. Just missed by fraction of a second from becoming a memory. Don't do this ever. pic.twitter.com/x8QRZYJMKc

Another incident which the IFS officer was referring to in his tweet shows a man riding his motorbike on a road that has been blocked for the passage of vehicles. The bike rider just escaped a few inches from colliding with a baby elephant, that was crossing the road to go to the other side of the forest.
