An adorable elephant has gone out of its way and takes stairs to climb an elevated platform due to limited options available before it. In a bid to cross over to its habitat from a busy road, the jumbo climbed the stairs to an elevated platform close to the road.
This #elephant using a staircase.

Such a shame. Sad that Corridors after Corridors are getting destroyed beyond imagination by the the super beings in the name of Development who then define the aftermath as Human Animal Conflict when the Poor animal is forced to defend it's last ground.

This is sad. I wish we were not messing up this badly with our flora and fauna.

I was so afraid he might slip and fall but then he trumpeted his victory over manmade obstacles which should have been repaired knowing it's a right of way for wild life too!!But does anyone care if some animal fell?
