Baby elephants are built for the jungle — and your hugs.

In this video, initially published in October, a baby elephant reaches out for a hug. And while his worker, Alex, pleasantly complies, this elephant is persistent.

He doesn't want just one cuddle. He wants thousands.

While humans would consider this kind of behavior "needy," baby elephants are the exception to the rule. They're just too adorable and too floppy for dated human boundaries. 

Dear baby elephant, let's hang out.
