Adorable reactions online<\/p>\n
One user expressed pure delight, writing: \u201cAll baby elephants should have unrestricted access to any food, anytime, and anywhere. It\u2019s the law. If it isn\u2019t, it should be, and is henceforth declared as irreversible law. Paapa baby elephant.\u201d Another praised the gesture, saying: \u201cLove how the lady feeds the baby.\u201d<\/p>\n
However, some voiced concern over the setting, with a viewer noting: \u201cI do have a problem with this entire scene: wild animals belong in rich, green jungles with plenty of resources and not in the cities enslaved for labour or entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Other comments ranged from simple admiration to critical reflection. \u201cChottu is so cute!\u201d read one, while another said: \u201cWhat is cute about elephants walking on concrete roads? Aren\u2019t they supposed to walk freely in the wild?\u201d One user appreciated the animal\u2019s manners: \u201cThe amazing thing is that the baby is waiting for them to give. Lovely.\u201d Meanwhile, a cheeky remark asked, \u201cWho will pay?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A heartwarming video of a baby elephant helping itself to a snack from a roadside fruit cart has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":211574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3847],"tags":[28724,21625,10670,84353,84354,70,16,15,6469,1717],"class_list":{"0":"post-211573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-baby-elephant","9":"tag-elephant","10":"tag-elephants","11":"tag-emotional-comments","12":"tag-roadside-fruit-cart","13":"tag-science","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-viral-video","17":"tag-wildlife"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114740830476045017","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=211573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/211573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/211574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=211573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=211573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=211573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
