Narrow stairs are no match for this clever elephant
Who knew elephants could climb stairs?
According to Healthy Pets Online, elephants are considered to be one of the smartest animals in the animal kingdom.
Elephants' brains are more significant than the minds of any other land animal, and the cortex has as many neurons as a human brain. The ability of elephants to learn is impressive, and they are also self-aware – they can recognise themselves in mirrors!
This recent video has proven just that. In the video, we see this amazing giant climbing what looks like some narrow stairs.
Indian Forest Officer Parveen Kaswan shared the video with the caption: "This #elephant using a staircase. What other option he has. The last look will tell you many things!"

He also added another caption to emphasise how amazed he was at how the elephant was able to use resourcefulness. That is probably why this forest giant is considered one of the most intelligent animals in the animal kingdom...
You see how good he has used that narrow stairs to climb the elevation. Elephants use resources in best manner. They learn fast, like how to deal with power fencing, blockades, such infra etc. Just to survive.
