Baby elephants rely on their moms for food for the first two to three years of life. The calves drink their mother’s milk for about two years, sometimes longer, and they can drink up to three gallons of milk each day. Besides, a baby elephant doesn’t sleep as much as other herbivores’ babies but only a few hours per night. However, there are always exceptions, which leads to many funny stories like this.

An elephant calf named Nong Kluai Nam Wa is raised on a farm in Thailand. Luckily, his mother is healthy and always by his side to give him milk, caresses, and protection. Held precious by his mommy and owner, Nam Wa appears playful, energetic, and sometimes naughty. He quickly becomes viral on Youtube and TikTok when the farmer films and uploads his daily routines.

The mommy wanted to wake up her son, who was sleeping soundly. She touched her baby’s body gently with her trunk. Then, she nudged him carefully with her front foot. Nam Wa opened his eyes. Still, he wasn’t fully awake yet, so his mama tapped his head softly and encouraged him to stand up while walking around him.
