While another Twitter user commented on the video, “I feel so happy for these two simple friends of wildlife. I hope more elephants are able to receive care and love from them.”

Bomman and Bellie’s effort to work with the elephants has not only gained attention in India but also abroad. They have received praise across the world for their commitment and affection for the animals which could be seen in the documentary. Recently, the two have become foster parents to another orphaned baby elephant. In a video, the two are seen cuddling the little jumbo. The text attached to the post read, “The Circle of life continues #TheElephantsWhisperers Bomman & Bellie are now foster parents to another orphaned baby elephant from Dharmapuri, now in #Mudumalai after Team #TNForest tried its best to reunite the 4 months old calf with the herd. We are happy he is in safe hands.”

The Elephant Whisperers, directed by Kartiki Gonsalves and produced by Guneet Monga, is now available for streaming on Netflix.
