They say it takes a village to raise a child. We now know it also takes one to put a newborn elephant to sleep.

The hilarious video comes to us from Elephant Nature Park, a wildlife sanctuary located in the Chiang Mai Province of northern Thailand that is popular with American and European tourists.

Make sure you watch through to the end because the money moment comes after Dok Rak has been lulled into a happy snooze when one of the exhausted adults follows suit and eases into a pillow of muddy dirt.
