An adorable elephant has gone out of its way and takes stairs to climb an elevated platform due to limited options available before it. In a bid to cross over to its habitat from a busy road, the jumbo climbed the stairs to an elevated platform close to the road. 

​A video that surfaced on Twitter has garnered 6,000 views for depicting this unusual sight, with many commenting that human encroachment on wild habitat creates existential issues for animals. 

​I was so afraid he might slip and fall but then he trumpeted his victory over manmade obstacles which should have been repaired knowing it's a right of way for wild life too!!But does anyone care if some animal fell?

​According to a report by an environment news website, Asians elephants are at risk of losing 42 percent of their current habitat in India and Nepal by 2070.
