An adorable video of a baby elephant picking up a vegetable from a roadside cart is winning hearts online. In the video, a herd can be seen moving on one side of the road with their keepers sitting on their backs. The calf, who was walking between two adult elephants, slowed down, only to grab a snack from a roadside cart.

The vendor and a woman, who was standing there, were taken aback for a moment. But they soon realised it was just a baby, with no intention of causing any harm, so they offered a vegetable to him. The calf took it, and moved along to catch up with his family.
