Elephant Asks for Hugs, Cleans Up After Itself: Heartwarming Video Goes Viral

The woman, who identifies herself as a federally licensed exotic animal owner, explains the elephant's behavior, adding a layer of expertise to the video. "This is how she asks for a hug," she explains in the video. The video concludes with a humorous scene featuring a goat seemingly driving a tractor, adding an unexpected layer of entertainment.
