Elephants are officially the cutest giants you will ever come across. Videos of baby elephants playing around often go viral on social media. They play with humans, run around and do all mischief, just like human babies. It seems that adult elephants are nothing less than calves and can cause similar mischiefs everywhere. And recently a video of a lazy elephant sleeping in the middle of a road in Nakhon Ratchasima, northeastern Thailand has gone viral on social media. The clip shows the jumbo taking a nap blocking traffic. Elephant Gropes Model at South Carolina Safari Park, Video of the Pachyderm Trying to Rip Off Woman's Bikini Goes Viral.

The footage shows the elephant lying in the middle of the road, hardly worried about the concerns of humans (rightly). Nattawat Patsungsing was on his way to work when he saw the Indian elephant sleeping on the concrete. On seeing the beast on the road, Nattawat slowed down his car and captured the scene silently trying not to wake up the animal. The animal can be seen flapping its ears and moving its legs, not bothered by the person waiting to cross the road.  Eventually, the elephant kicks up its legs, stands up and walks away. Video of Clumsy Baby Elephant Chasing Dogs Is Your Today’s Serving of Utter Cuteness!

Following his encounter with the elephant, wildlife officials told Nattawat that jumbo named Nga-Thong - which means 'golden ivory' has been creating troubles since quite some time. Officials said that it sleeps on the road because of the warmth of the concrete. Nattawat had to wait for 20 minutes to cross the road.
