Footage shows elephant Sak Surin recovering on Monday afternoon, July 3, following his rescue and return to Thailand from an allegedly abusive temple in Sri Lanka.
Sak Surin was one of three jumbos gifted by the Royal Family to Sri Lanka in 2001 where he spent two decades in a squalid Buddhist temple zoo, being renamed Muthu Raja and given honored roles in religious processions.
