It’s not just pandas having a hard time standing up these days. Baby elephants, it would appear, find it difficult to get all four feet on the ground as well. It’s particularly a problem for this young pachyderm, which hails from Elephant Nature Park in Chang Mai, Thailand.

Habitat loss

Human-elephant conflict

Poaching
