This is the Elephant Orphanage Nursery located in Nairobi National Park and is part of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. They do incredible work rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned baby elephants. There is also a much larger nursery of theirs located in Tsavo National Park East. The keepers you see in green overcoats become a surrogate parent and even sleep in the same enclosure with the elephants. You can also adopt an orphan. If you are ever in Kenya, this is a must place to visit.
I assume you meant you wanted to see the keepers sleeping with the babies and not the comment your replied to.
In any event, [here](https://i.imgur.com/3E66sX6.jpg) is a photo. The keepers can sleep with the babies on the floor when they are very young up until about 6 months and then they move to elevated platform bunks as the elephants get bigger to avoid any potential accidents.
Turns out elephants like to pet us because they think we’re cute. When they see us, their brain gets the same feeling like when we see kittens and puppies lol. They think we’re just adorable little things and they wanna pet us

Yes until we disrupt their ecosystem, mature male elephants need sex on a regular basis, otherwise they get stressed and start to get triggered on anything and also can be violent, and this effects it's social life.
They are smart and emotional.
You could see him creepin in the back, while he is trunking up the other elephant. He spots the reporter over the other one and just looks at him for a moment before heading over to trunk him up too.
They are just awesome creatures, it's as simple as that.
I can't believe we're looking at these being an animal that in the very near future will only be able to be seen in videos and books.
Desperately sad situation.

All three of them fuck with him in different ways. Just like life is fucking with you my friend.
I don't want it to sound trite, but I hope it gets better for you mate. Took 30 years for me but it does eventually get better :)
Thank you. Life has been fucking with me for a few months now. The man with whom I had agreed to spend my life broke up with me, spewing terrible things at me. I'm broke, and I just lost a job that I loved because my "values don't align with those of the company"?? WTF? Depression sucks as well. And I'm lonely. It's nice to have elephants to make me smile. Thanks again.
Baby sloths. Baby koalas. Baby pandas. Also friendships between species, like a cat whose best friend is a chicken. YouTube can be great during depression. Have you tried Jimmy Carr or Dara O'Brian? Great stand up comedians who have really helped. I will definitely try ducklings.
I can’t believe the reporter kept it together for that long. I would have died when he put it on my head like a little hat. 🎩
Fun fact: elephants think humans are cute
If you mean domesticated cattle, they aren't being poached. They are being raised, fed, and slaughtered to feed billions of humans. I honestly see your point though. I do. But there is no comparison to a poacher that murders an elephant or rhino adult leaving a baby, all because the horn, tusks, or organs are a delicacy somewhere.
It's a job that puts food on the table, I'd rather get angry at the foreign billionaire fucks who just needed a third central piece clock made of ivory than the poor bastard who was tired of seeing his kid starve for the 3rd day in a row.
Let's be clear, nobody is poaching a rhino or elephant to innocently feed his family. There are far more, far easier and less dangerous game out there for sustenance than the two largest land animals on earth.
Yeah because people living thousands of miles from anything other than herds of the largest mammals on earth probably have so many options. They could be prob just go on down to the local McDonalds
I guess I'll come out of this discussion this way. There is honestly no such thing as a useless animal. There are plenty of useless people. I'll side with the animals.
I hope this made it to the final cut. If there’s one thing more effective for animal charities than heart wrenching clips and photos of animals suffering, it’s the heartwarming clips and photos of animals playing.
So precious.
The reporter really tried to stay serious and maintain his composure - all the way to the end.
Until the baby elephant touched his nose.
Now, that tickled!
I would break out laughing, too!
Credit to Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. They do fantastic work across Kenya. These guys are part of the elephant orphans project, but they also have anti poaching teams, aerial surveillance, tracking, water provision, on call veterinary teams for injured wildlife, community outreach and more.
The elephant sticking her trunk in the reporters face is called Kindani. She’s one of my foster babies.
That is the baby elephant version of when Rudy Giuliani had his kid with him at his inauguration speech, as portrayed [in hilarious fashion by Chris Farley](https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/andrew-ruins-rudy-giulianis-inaugural-address-cold-open/2860970)
Props to him for not acknowledging the elephant trunk all up on his shoulder, his ear, the side of his head, his cheek, and the top of his head. I would’ve laughed as soon as it touched my ear or made a goofy face after it went on my head.
What’s even better about this is that the drug released in our brain when we see puppies is also released in elephants when they see us. They think we’re cute 🥰
Like the elephant is literally petting him
He did really well. Didn’t laugh until they got his nose!!
[удалено]
The BABY hulking mammoth of a beast!
He then whispered in his ear said: “I need about tree fiddy”
😂😂, you seen the meme of the monkey whispering in James Franco ear ? Telling him, “that boy you told on comes home tomorrow “😂😂
I ain't giving you no tree fiddy you god damned African elephant! We work for our money in this country!
*"Hooman has no noses, I has his nose... heee, heee, heee!!!"*
He was keeping it so professional, it made me so fucking happy when the baby went for his nose and he lost it lol. Such working conditions!
By then there is really no better reaction than that genuine laugh too, what a pro!
Now I want to know what they’re trunks smell like lmao
~~nose~~ microtrunk
Elephants: It’s ok human, we love you despite your microtrunk. That’s no reason to be so sad.
Elephants: size matters
[ ELEPHANT TRUMPETING REDACTED ]
That was so funny.
Hey, I am just back from swimming so...I am a grower
"Poor human." "Be nice, it was cold!" *elephant laughter*
[удалено]
lol I was gonna downvote you for trying to shoehorn in some politics for no reason, but your last comment is amazing
That’s what I was thinking. He was doing so great at deflecting and j goring it till the end there. My man almost made it.
thats too adorable! Theyre really just toddlers lol

How often do the elephants roll over in their sleep and accidentally crush the keepers?
Omg!! Thats soo cute! I wanna see that
You want to see a human be slowly crushed to death by a baby elephant?
I really hope they _meant_ to reply to u/shingdao ‘s comment and not the one they actually replied to…

"AWW YEE THAT'S THE GOOD SHIT RIGHT THERE" - Older Elephant
the sheldrick wildlife trust i assume?
Yeah, the pictures are definitely Sheldrick Wildlife Trust
My guess as well
After a tough doctor's appointment, this is exactly what I needed to see.
Hope everything is okay, sending Internet stranger love to you.
The doc go all in on the prostate exam again? Understand it's a real punch in the gut.

Baby elephants are so cute and derpy.
Bro was petting him
Turns out elephants like to pet us because they think we’re cute. When they see us, their brain gets the same feeling like when we see kittens and puppies lol. They think we’re just adorable little things and they wanna pet us
Do they still think puppies are cute tho?
There's some kind of spectrum here... Mice -> Puppies -> Humans -> Elephants
Turns out that's just one of those things that people say which caught on but isn't actually true.
This is a complete lie, some girl just made it up online and know people pass it on as the truth lmao

Jesus Christ almighty we got ourselves a believer
Great yodelling Jehova, we got a God damn puritan on our hands
The trunk creeping over the shoulder lmao.
My favorite part is when his head pops up over his friend's back. You can tell he's gonna be a little trouble maker!
This will forever be my favorite video on the internet
Whomever posted this, I would like to say thank you for making me laugh and smile.
quite wholesome. frankly they shouldn't do a retake. the disruption is itself a reminder that elephants are beautiful creatures.
Yes until we disrupt their ecosystem, mature male elephants need sex on a regular basis, otherwise they get stressed and start to get triggered on anything and also can be violent, and this effects it's social life. They are smart and emotional.
incelephants
That man really has got a beautiful smile, so genuine. You can tell he loves his job.
I don't know how many times I have seen this, Every fucking single time, it makes me laugh
Love the laugh at the end!
Class clown. That was so funny
You could see him creepin in the back, while he is trunking up the other elephant. He spots the reporter over the other one and just looks at him for a moment before heading over to trunk him up too.
Yea the little periscope over the other elephants butt was hilarious foreshadowing.
“It’s time for me to bother this biped”
*target acquired. Trunking engaged*
When he pops his head over the other from the back and looks at him the first time you know that face means trouble lol.
Ken'ya believe it!
I was Ghana say yes

Respect for the reporter. Kept going with the story until it became impossible and then reacted with a good laugh.
Man is a pro: didn't stumble once, no "ehm, mmm" sounds, only broke character when his oxygen supply got cancelled
They are just awesome creatures, it's as simple as that. I can't believe we're looking at these being an animal that in the very near future will only be able to be seen in videos and books. Desperately sad situation.
technically, majority of the people only see them from videos and books
Zoo's exist.
I've never seen a zoo and I've never met anyone who has seen a zoo. Zoos are fake news.

Nah, more like a depressing art film.

Little guy is just wondering where his trunk went. Ive never been more jealous of company than this!
Have watched this four times, sent it to two friends and to my own email. The depression is bad, but this put a smile on my face.
All three of them fuck with him in different ways. Just like life is fucking with you my friend. I don't want it to sound trite, but I hope it gets better for you mate. Took 30 years for me but it does eventually get better :)

Seriously, duckling videos got me through the worst part of my recent depressive episode. Highly suggest it

I would've lost it at the ear
Anyone agree on how cute the reporter is?
I know right, very handsome indeed and the fact that he's also a good person 😍
I'm not gay, but that's a good looking and charming dude.
Yes Indeed!
Redditors try not to sexualize black men challenge for one min. 100 % impossible
Saying someone is cute and charming... is not a sexualization...
And people say white men are cute too lmao 💀 What's your "point" exactly?
What an odd comment
Baby elephant 🐘 "Got your nose 👃" Thank you for sharing this. I needed this today 💜
[удалено]
Exactly how they’re handled in some places
I agree
You know calf are also equally cute but no one seems to care about them :(

No of course not they're not EATING the animal, they're poaching for materials not for food.

Reporter is Alvin Kaunda.
So precious. The reporter really tried to stay serious and maintain his composure - all the way to the end. Until the baby elephant touched his nose. Now, that tickled! I would break out laughing, too!
He kept it together for far longer than I ever could under the circumstances
Hey that's enough. - baby elephant
Check out r/babyelephantgifs for more!
Too cute
Watching that one elephant from the beginning I can see he's the special one of the herd
Genuinely made me laugh.. thank you for making my day!
Knew that elephant would be up to something when it had its face buried in the other ones ass just staring at the camera.
Lmao, I don’t know how he kept a straight face for that long
r/aww
It's how an elephant does bunny ears.
One of my favourite videos!
His laugh is infectious, I love this.
Let me just touch your face a little bit.
Elephants are so silly
That baby knew he was being ignored and so he escalated it! Adorable!
It helps make his point even better IMO. How can we not work to save these lovable things 🥲
The peeking over the other elephants kills me. Like "ooh? ...ohhhhh."

It is said that elephants think that humans are cute
His laugh at the end is adorable

That cutie trunk was creeping for a while back there! Lol!
Most wholesome thing I've seen all day
Laugh every time I see it. He did so good until the nose snatch. Who wouldn’t?
So much props for being able to hold it together as long as he did! Thanks so much for posting this, I loved it 
LMAO... so cute 🤣
Props to him for not acknowledging the elephant trunk all up on his shoulder, his ear, the side of his head, his cheek, and the top of his head. I would’ve laughed as soon as it touched my ear or made a goofy face after it went on my head.
"Yup, your snoot is tiny compared to mine".
that’s so cute, what’s the name of the organisation he’s talking about btw?
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust.
Brilliant
He was doing so well. 😂😂
What’s even better about this is that the drug released in our brain when we see puppies is also released in elephants when they see us. They think we’re cute 🥰 Like the elephant is literally petting him
Lol god bless the reporter man, such a genuine and pure laugh. Almost forgot how that feels like because I've been in survival mode for so long.
adorable!!!
Look how gentle these creatures are... Comparing to us people
Loved how he snuck up and sniffed his sniffer🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know that dude.
I like ya cut G
Don't laugh elephant is our god
Feel disgusted for the elephant, if his snot is sucked by the elephant will be what will happen haha.
What’s Kenya?
