Guwahati: A three-year-old girl was seen trying to drink milk from an elephant in Assam, a set of videos captured the heartwarming scenes. The little girl was seen playing around the animal, hugging and kissing its trunk. The elephant also indulges the child by swinging its trunk at her.
In the next frame, the toddler, on her toes, was seen reaching for the elephant's udder trying to drink from it.
The girl, Harshita Bora from Golaghat district, was also seen playing football with the jumbo.
"The elephant plays ball with me. Her name is Binu, she likes to eat banana," said the girl when asked to describe her bond with the animal.
The rare videos come at a time when human-elephant conflict is on the rise in the state as the forests in which the animals roamed got fragmented as farms and tea gardens come up.
