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.

Recollecting the days when he was treating the animal who was in a near death condition, the doctor said that he was very aggressive and his body was very weak and unable to fight other fellow elephants. But over the period of time he himself learnt how to take care and healed. The process of his recovery was long, but eventually he did recover fully. For the unversed, elephants are the national animal of Thailand. There are approximately 3000-4000 elephants in the country out of which half are domesticated.
