Mr Shuffles Gets Wet

[mywoman77]

to "NIGGIMATT" how dumb are you????

Why would the Keepers spend their whole day looking after these wonderful, elegant graceful creatures, spend night after night watching over Pregnant elephants when they are in labour, fret just like any parent about a newborn.

How dumb, naive and idiotic are you? I mean really get a life.

These keepers spend all day with the elephants and treat them as they would their own offspring.

If these keepers are guilty of anything it is loving them too much!!

[NewEraShufflerz]

Mean person!!!

[Ellidoraellidora]

the handler had to hold Shuffie's lil trunk above the water line so he didnt catch peunomia.he could have aspirated and got water in his teenie weenie little lungs, poor Shuffie!

[Ellidoraellidora]

mr shuffy is going to give his keeper a heart attack

[gusano992]

cute!

[llamalara]

All that have commented saying how the keeper supposably pushed in Parthi Harn, you obviously don't realize how much time and effort the keepers put into looking after these animals.

Especially to be working in with elephants the keepers MUST have a strong, trustworthy bond with all of the herd.

So before making accusations try to understand that the natural exploration and confidence behaviours PH demonstrated are just part of natural development and fortunately keepers were present to help.

[Binshaibalahmar]

@llamalara - I filmed this video at Tarango Zoo. You can clearly see from the original footage that the keeper is trying to push the elephant back from the water, not pushing him in.

[llamalara]

@Binshaibalahmar As i was trying to say :)

[Hunterlar]

Old fool, the Elephants are smarter than him.

[tommywm24]

Amazing to see how the other elephants got all worried. Never seen such a human-like reaction in an animal.

[spiderxcat]

OH how wonderful to see all the ellys help out . JUST wonderful thank you for sharing this!! AMAZING!!

[MrSPONGEBOBJELLYFISH]

I was there looking at him when he fell in......=[ poor mr shuffles

[thekingdom72]

Deborah knight is so up herself.

[OziBozzy]

'gets wet'

hihihiihihihiih like a pussy? hhhiiihihihi

[lupinPL]

what a name.. Mr. Shuffles... hahahaha

[PR0GRAMMING]

I actually like the name "Mr Shuffles".

[richlaramore]

Dude pushed it in.

[RepublicanDumbAss]

What?! No Speedos?!

[rhyboy1]

I dont care what people say, I'm calling him MR. Shuffles.

[88try88]

rhyboy1, as will every kid that goes to the zoo.

[xprettyflyx]

Omg it's so cute

[lellbelle]

I love how all the elephants immediately rush to save him! aww! so cute, and yes, i must agree Mr shuffles is a five star name :p

[nonameisacat]

It's a placeholder name, they're choosing a Thai one. He was reported to have died in his mothers womb.

[lellbelle]

yes, I did know he was reported as dead, it's awesome that he's alive and so well.

I figured it was a nickname, but it's still cool, such a quirky and affectionate name, i reckon Mr Shuffles might stick.

[xSimplyMagical]

Mr Shuffles? Lol. 5 stars for the name alone

[DGMRuadeil]

he threw it in there! XD

[K3VY8295]

I'm sure it was a accident >.>

[rainey06au]

I wish I knew what the keeper was doing. The video picks it up late but to me I think it looked like he'd frightened the little fella into the water. He's lucky mumma didn't get angry at him.

[88try88]

rainey06au, the full unedited video shows the keeper walking over to the baby elephant and attempting to turn him for what appears to be a better public viewing.

[ilovefluffysheep]

he's sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooo CUuuuuuuuuuuuttte

[TeReNo223]

damn....thought it was a guy shuffing xD

[Mearaloves30stm]

Baby Elephant! That little fella must have been scared! Yay for keeper and mommy!

Cute little bastard. :)

[Choo69]

BABY ELEEPHAN

[zdfragoso]

That was an accident, wink

[Projoe11]

whyd that guy push it in the water?

[Nikkiirayray967]

the handler was holding its trunk above the water so it could breathe

[rolstc]

God damn.. Smart elephants.. Stupid guy.

[niggimatt]

looks like the handler pushed it in :P

[Borissimo]

yes...:)

[ashleyjamball]

The baby Ele did it again the next day. But it dies

[skatingsetmestraight]

@ashleyjamball No. No it didn't.

[hauptmannbalalaika]

Would be nice if they compiled a DVD of both baby elephants, the girl in Melbourne and the boy in Sydney. They are both really cute and soo different!

[SLAPCHOPshamwow]

HE NEEDS SOME FLOATIES

[TheBOLT7]

Listen all BOLT fans Please go see this new 24/7 BOLT vs UNDERDOG.

[tekuguy]

That guy is lucky that is all I'm saying

[R3db4dh4ir]

Animals are better than humans...

[FrequencyFound]

look how his mommy jumped in to help him :)

[1kill1der]

Ahahahah, he would have peed his elephant pants. Pretty cool how the others got in to help. Too bad his trunk got yanked now it's prob bent like mine.

[88try88]

@1kill1der - that's so sad. Can you get yours straightened?

[BBGenelie]

i think it was cool how the whole herd looked concerned and some tried to help him out. shows how intelligent these animals are.

[milkshaker74]

Attempted Elephanticide at the very least.....i am typing this with a straight face.......this Zoo keeper needs to be stopped now!....First it's Mr Shuffles...then who knows? Who will be next? Maybe your Dear Old Gran is face down in the deep end of the Pool!?!. And i can tell you there may not be a Herd of older elephants to the rescue!

It happens more than we think.

[bacardibreezer7]

@milkshaker74 - Best. Troll. Ever.

[milkshaker74]

Slipped hand Fell? BULLSHIT!!!...the guy pushed the freaking Mr Shuffles in the water!!!!!!!!!!!! The panics.......what a wanker, what did he expect was going to happen??????

[beroepsgokker]

Excellent to see the immediate actions from the elephants........ some humans can learn something from this.

[LuckyTouch]

heel mooi om te zien :) dat kleintje heeft een zooi engeltjes in zn slurf zitten.

[nonameisacat]

bjørn

[xXSweetGoodByesXx]

zooo ontroerend !!!

het zijn net mensen ... helemaal toppie

:-D

[LeviathanNL]

So Sweet

[Saartje05]

why does it look like the keeper pushed the little guy in?

[grmbl67]

most likely: that's just the moment the movie starts - the zookeeper had already pulled the little one out of the water but it became too heavy, slippery etc..

[88try88]

Could not agree more.

[FrequencyFound]

cause he did! in the full video he just like comes over to mr. shuffles and is like time for a bath mofo and pushes him in! only not like that. .

[88try88]

Yes FrequencyFound, the full video shows far more than this clip. It was viewable on the SMHld site.

[Saartje05]

Great how elephants react. But the keepers said it wasn't in danger? Why then did they panic? You can clearly see they panicked.

[CRTukker]

If thats already panic to you....

I havent seen a second of panic in there, all very well coordinated by the keepers as well as the elephants.

[minkuukel]

GEWELDIG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[racqkelly]

aww...I love this..too cute...glad he had heaps of support around.

[whitematador72]

Very cute that the Mum and Aunties are so protective - but its the very shallow end of their pool, he was never in any danger..

[knuksnook]

Oh my God!

[linshr10]

that was pretty stupid.....didn't the zookeepers know how deep the water was????
