A baby elephant tenderly laid down on its caretaker to take a nap.
Footage shows the juvenile jumbo, which was only the size of an adult dog, approaching a mahout and trying to lie on its side on his lap in Chiang Mai, Thailand, on December 16.
While the elephant was still tiny, it was already too heavy for the local, who fell on his bottom on the ground.
The elephant then quickly returned to its parents, who were being fed with grass in the animal camp.
Tour guide Sukalya said: 'The baby elephant wanted to sleep beside its caretaker.'
