This is the cute moment a curious baby elephant climbed all over a model and ripped off her skirt.
Earlier in June, Megan Milan was visiting the Chia Lai Orchid sanctuary in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which saves elephants, when a three-week-old elephant developed feelings for her.
A funny video showing the rowdy infant approaching Megan, knocking her to the ground, and rolling on top of her has been viewed more than 12 million times on social media.
The baby elephant continually approaches Megan while fun tugging at her skirt in the video. Megan, who appeared unfazed, can be heard giggling at this time. The child, however, was more powerful than he appeared to be and was able to remove Megan’s skirt by standing on the hem.
The model then fell, attempting to conceal her modesty with her skirt while the elephant returned for further amusement.

The playful nelly was eventually pulled away by the animal’s older sister while Megan collected herself and her torn skirt.
Elephants are something I’m used to being around, but I’ve never been around one that young; he’s only three weeks old, Megan remarked. I, therefore, asked to visit him.
He was undoubtedly a little strong and bulky.
I have a reputation for immersing myself in new cultures and undertaking exciting activities. I’m always up for an adrenaline rush, whether it involves hanging off trains in Sri Lanka or playing with baby elephants in Thailand.
I travel for a living when I’m not modeling or reading scripts. Thailand is a place I’ve always wanted to visit.
I discovered Daughters Rising Thailand, a nonprofit group that empowers indigenous girls and women who are at risk or have been rescued by providing them with education, career opportunities, and outreach in order to stop human trafficking and exploitation in their communities.
“These are two things that I am incredibly enthusiastic about, together with the rescued elephants at Chai Lai, so of course I leaped at the opportunity.”
The model was able to see the humor in her situation when she posted the elephant video to Twitter and joked that the young elephant’s big sister had to come and remove it from her back.
When others expressed worries that the elephant was aggressive, Megan defended the creature by stating: “He’s just 3 weeks.” Elephants do not randomly attack people. They are among the few species that exhibit empathy. His family was stolen from by that lady! Elephants are forgotten less.
