Mother is overcome with emotion when reunited with her daughter after three years apart

[Liberal_in_LA]

Small elephant Me-Bai is seen nuzzling her mother upon reunion
She was sold to provide rides for tourists in Thailand when she was three
Mother and daughter were reunited at the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary
They caress each other with their sensitive trunks, 'chirp' and cuddle
The old adage that an elephant never forgets appears to be true, based on a touching video showing an Asian elephant returning to her mother after years apart.

After a 62-mile (100km) trek through the Thai jungle, Me-Bai, the small elephant can be seen nuzzling her mother, Mae Yui, while the pair joyfully flap their ears and caress each other with their trunks in the Elephant Nature Park sanctuary, in the north of the country.

Me-Bai was sold to provide rides for tourists in Thailand when she was three-and-a-half years old, and didn't see her mother, who also worked in the trade, for three years.
