The video has garnered more than 146,000 views, so far, said a NDTV report.

There has been an incredible outpouring of love for the kutty baby elephant, who was reunited with the herd by TN Foresters, Sahu said.
In the second video, the baby elephant gingerly climbing a narrow rocky path and then reaching the road and spots her mother probably (who is unfortunately not visible in the video) and lets out a joyful trumpet. Moments later, the little one ran towards her.
