This is the cute moment a nosy baby elephant climbed all over a model and tore her skirt.
Earlier in June, Megan Milan was visiting the Chia Lai Orchid sanctuary in Chiang Mai, Thailand, which saves elephants, when a three-week-old elephant decided to play around with her.
A funny video showing the restless baby elephant approaching Megan, knocking her to the ground, and rolling on top of her has been seen more than 12 million times on social media.

The young elephant continually approaches Megan in the video, cheerfully tugging at her skirt, and Megan, who appeared unconcerned, can be heard laughing.
The youngster, however, was more powerful than he appeared to be and could remove Megan's skirt by standing on the hem.
The model then fell, attempting to conceal her modesty with her skirt while the elephant returned for further amusement.
The animal's elder sister eventually pulled away from the playful nelly while Megan gathered herself and her torn skirt.
Megan said: 'I'm used to being around elephants but I had never been around one so young, he's only three-weeks-old. So I asked to go see him.
'He was definitely a little heavy and strong.
'I'm known for immersing myself in other cultures and going on wild adventures. Whether it's hanging off trains in Sri Lanka or playing with baby elephants in Thailand, I'm always down for a thrill.
'When I'm not modelling or reading scripts, I travel the world for a living. I've always wanted to go to Thailand.
'I found a non-profit organisation, Daughters Rising Thailand, who empower at-risk and rescued indigenous girls and women through education, employment and outreach to prevent trafficking and exploitation in their communities.
'Coupled with the rescued elephants at Chai Lai, these are two things that I am extremely passionate about so of course I jumped at the opportunity.'
The model could see the humor in her situation when she posted the elephant video on Twitter and joked that the young elephant's big sister had to come and remove it off her back.
When people voiced their concerns that the elephant was violent, Megan defended the animal, saying: 'He's literally 3 weeks. Elephants don't just go around hurting people. They are one of the only animals with empathy. That lady helped his fam get poached! Elephants don't forget.'
