A mood-lifting video shows an elephant ‘carefully' lifting a railway barrier to make his way across a train tracks. The elephant was trapped near a railway crossing just outside Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary in India’s West Bengal state. Eyewitnesses said the elephant made many attempts to cross the tracks but failed to do so because of the metal fence. Dozens of Elephants die every year from attempting to cross train tracks, luckily this Elephant didn't add to that list.
