This is the adorable moment a playful baby elephant ripped a model’s skirt by clambering all over her.

Megan Milan was visiting Chia Lai Orchid, a sanctuary that rescues elephants in Chiang Mai, Thailand, earlier in June when a 3-week-old elephant took a shine to her.

Hilarious footage – which has been viewed more than 12 million times on social media - shows the boisterous baby getting close to Megan, bumping her to the ground before rolling on top of her.

The youngster even managed to pull Megan’s skirt off by stepping on the hem, before his older sister came running over to pull the playful nelly away.

Megan said: “I’m used to being around elephants but I had never been around one so young, he’s only 3-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, which empowers 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.”
