A video from @update11111 in X (formerly Twitter) showed a heartwarming and humorous video of a baby elephant getting lost and entering the Pejabat Perikanan Malaysia in Banding, Gerik.
The video, originally shared by Jamil Amin Abdul Kadir has gone viral, capturing the attention of netizens.
In the video, there was a baby elephant on one side of a concrete wall while its mother, on the other side, assists the young one in climbing over back to her.
The video is captioned with playful phrases such as “the real ‘ada gajah di balik batu,’” adding a lighthearted tone to the otherwise wild encounter.
The amusing captions accompanying the video add a humorous narrative, making it feel as if the elephants were having a conversation.
One of the captions reads “Dah, kita balik rumah cepat-cepat,” giving the impression that the mother elephant was scolding her calf for wandering off, much like a human parent.
Elephants and Their Incredible Bond
Elephants are known for their strong family bonds and intelligence, and this video is a perfect example of that.
The mother elephant’s determination to reunite with her calf highlights their protective nature.
While elephants may not be climbers in the traditional sense, their dexterity and strength allow them to overcome physical obstacles when necessary, especially when it involves their young.
They often exhibit problem-solving skills, which might explain the mother’s insistence on helping her calf navigate the concrete barrier.
Elephants, especially calves, are curious by nature and may wander into human areas when searching for food or exploring their surroundings.
It is common for elephants to venture into plantations or even towns near their habitats, which can sometimes lead to encounters like this one.
Netizens’ Reactions
The video has sparked a wave of funny and endearing reactions from netizens:

Despite the fun and laughter online, one netizen, @muz_azzam, expressed a bit of disappointment jokingly, “Where’s the moment when the calf crosses the wall? Why was it cut? I wanted to see that.”
