Though elephants are called gentle giants, they are also intelligent, calm, and sensitive animals capable of understanding emotions. A heartwarming video of an elephant at a zoo in China has gone viral, showing the animal returning a child’s shoe that accidentally fell into its enclosure. The video was shared by Indian Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, who praised the elephant’s spirits and compassion. The footage shows a 25-year-old male elephant named Shan Mai using its trunk to pick up the shoe and give it back to the boy. Many people on the internet were amazed by the elephant’s kindness and intelligence, while others called for the animal to be set free. Elephants are known to form strong bonds with friends and family members and often engage in daily activities together.
