This is the adorable moment an elephant held up cars after having a nap in the middle of the road. The jumbo was sprawled across the highway in Nakhon Ratchasima, northeastern Thailand, on Tuesday (13/08) morning. As a car approached, the driver had to stop and be silent to avoid scaring the huge creature - which could have charged at the vehicle it was startled from being woken up suddenly. Footage show how the elephant remained in its deep sleep for around three minutes while the car edged closed and came to a stop. Motorist Nattawat Patsungsing, 57, who captured the video said the elephant was like that for about 20 minutes before he started filming Nattawat is heard in the clip asking the elephant to move.
