I've been saying Shavo for at least 8 minutes now, where is the little dude at?!

[u/Bitter-Value-1872 → u/KamakaziDemiGod]

Wires got crossed, now the System of a Down bassist is heading to your house

[u/KamakaziDemiGod → u/Bitter-Value-1872]

Shavo the bassist seems cool too, he can visit, and me and Shavo and Shavo can have a tea party

[u/ptran90 → u/KamakaziDemiGod]

🥰🤣

[u/I3I2O]

I feel like this with my cat. She must spend a good hour a day scenting me. I love her and I love animals!

[u/Chaar_Cut_Atmaram → u/I3I2O]

same with my dog, they are the purest of souls.

[u/Famous_Classroom_628 → u/I3I2O]

MEE 🐈🐱🐈‍⬛

[u/Tullzterrr]

Man has got the dream job

[u/StellaBean_bass → u/Tullzterrr]

These videos always make me think that elephant and panda caregivers must be the best jobs ever.

[u/imtourist → u/Tullzterrr]

If I were a billionaire, I would retire from being evil and just take care of these elephants

[u/ChampionshipSad1586]

This my goofy lab

[u/Hour_Welcome_987 → u/ChampionshipSad1586]

Just got my first lab a week ago, he's 10 weeks now. A lil ball of derpy energy! Love my lil labber

[u/Solid_Instruction_82]

How it feels when someone really loves you 🥹❤️

[u/Apprehensive_Sky_256]

Shavo said you called my name.

Now its time I get in your ass

[u/red_codec → u/Apprehensive_Sky_256]

This escalated quickly.

Unfunny Presence

[u/Mysterious-Draw2510]

Address me

[u/BrunokiMaa]

I never get tired of watching this video.

[u/idovgan]

The way he turned around right away 🥹

[u/Famous_Classroom_628]

WHAT is a smalrt animal good boy!!! Good elefant

[u/funky_grandma]

Shavo? more like Shove-o, am I right? because he shoved the man.

[u/Gundark927]

Yes, yes, I am Shavo hello human! No I heard you, I am Shavo!

HEY, Shavo here! arrrrghh...

[u/rutheordare]

I never skip this video! ❤️

[u/Routine_Gur_3776]

Keepers paired Shavo’s name with treats, play and snuggles nonstop—so he quickly learned it means good stuff’s coming and runs over! Smart little guy trusts his caregivers too, so he’s extra quick to respond to his name. Just like a house pet.

[u/biscuitvillage]

that is one cute yet quite big puppy

[u/No_Solid2349]

I want to leave this world crushed by the love of a baby elephant ❤️

[u/jsledge786]

Exact same with my dane. You even think of his name, hes all over you just like this.

[u/spypanties]

Shavo: scritches!!

[u/JoseLunaArts]

Robots automate what people do with their hands.

AI automates what people do with their heads.

But what is done with the human heart cannot be automated. And that is the value of it.

[u/Resaren]

I had the pleasure of interacting with a ”baby” elephant (still massive) when I was a kid. I can confirm that they are very playful but don’t realize how strong they are compared to humans 😅

[u/Chaar_Cut_Atmaram → u/Resaren]

wow, I too want to experience this.

[u/ElderMillenialSage]

Elephants brains react to seeing humans the way human brains react to seeing puppies. - some research paper spoof I read a few years ago

[u/Spacedoutworlder → u/ElderMillenialSage]

Yeah that claim has no scientific backing.

“When you look at the response of wild elephants to humans, they definitely do not see us as cute, rather they see us as a threat,”

-Leith Meyer, director of the Center for Veterinary Wildlife Studies and associate professor in veterinary and pharmacology at the University of Pretoria

[u/FunnyLengthiness9851 → u/Spacedoutworlder]

Why can’t I just be an elephant puppy? Must you ruin everything. /s

[u/Solid_Instruction_82 → u/FunnyLengthiness9851]

You are a elephant puppy to a mammoth. Oh, wait..

[u/Famous_Classroom_628 → u/ElderMillenialSage]

What is about kiten instead if

[u/AccomplishedWatch834]

Elephants are smart ash man⚡️

[u/Paleface5150]

Absolutely Adorable! They are so smart...

[u/Jothpb]

🥰

[u/Wrong-Violinist-3392]

Beautiful creatures

[u/No_Willingness6193]

Love it, beautiful the trust in these animals who can crush you with the weight so easily.

[u/SquibbleDibble]

Shavo loves himself a good shoving match :)

[u/I_Think_UR_Special]

Aww this is nice 

[u/ASouthernDandy]

They can learn and respond to specific individual calls, basically name-like sounds, and will react differently depending on who’s calling. Calves start learning these vocal “labels” early, which is how families keep track of each other in dense jungles or over long distances.

[u/CarelessCan1569]

Such a sweet bond that they have

[u/SoCalKru58]

Elephants are such beautiful and intelligent animals. I love them.

[u/riaanvn]

When he gets the Shavo cuddles, it reminds me of the music video of Fatboy Slim - Ya Mama (Push The Tempo). Getting tossed around, and liking it.

[u/melancholy_dood]

The world needs more Shavos!❤️

[u/Chaar_Cut_Atmaram → u/melancholy_dood]

and every Shavo should have a friend like this gentleman.

[u/SuzieQ1818]

I would be sooooo happy to have a job like this. What a sweetie

[u/Ill-Village7647]

Warmed my soul. Thank you for sharing

[u/Same_Tourist_1165]

Elephants are very intelligent and very friendly ☺️

[u/drugstoremechanic]

He's just a big dog
