In the video going viral, an elephant is seen picking up a big uneven log of wood with its trunk and trying to balance it in a horizontal position on a wooden pole fixed to the ground at the Basel Zoological Garden in Switzerland.</p>
<p>
While initially it appears the elephant is struggling a bit to place the log, within a few seconds, the animal manages to place it in perfect balance in the horizontal position on the pole with the help of its tusk.</p>
<p>
TikTok user Julien Perceval Clap (@julienpercevalcla) posted the video after a recent visit to the Zoo. </p>

Views of the amazing video surged after former basketball star Rex Chapman shared it on Twitter, gathering nearly 2 million views in less than 12 hours. “You gotta be kidding me,” the former NBA player wrote about the elephant’s feat!</p>
