Heartwarming Moment Wild Elephant Recognises The Vet Who Treated Him 12 Years Ago

This is the moment an elephant recognises a vet who treated him 12 years ago. Luckily it was caught on camera. A 31-year-old bull elephant had an unexpected reunion with Dr Maneeon of Thailand. They met in 2009 when the elephant was found struggling and taken straight to Meneeon.

For the treatment, the big mammal was brought to the Forest Industry Organisation's territory in Lampang. He was given adequate treatment and care during his stay there by the staff from the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. Once he recovered fully, he was released in the wild. Ever since he has been doing well.
