This is the bizarre moment two elephants swayed from side-to-side while being transported in the back of a truck. <br /><br />The jumbos were both chained up and loaded into the back of the vehicle in Ratchaburi, central Thailand, on July 31.<br /><br />They then began moving together, which caused the lorry to wobble dangerously as it drove along the highway.<br /><br />Motorist Chom Worajarubavonsin was travelling behind the truck with her family when she recorded the elephants.<br /><br />She said the elephants ''looked cute'' but others raised concerns that the pair could be in distress.<br /><br />One viewer, Kannika, said: ''The elephants look like they are uncomfortable and don't want to be in that position.''<br /><br />Another local, Gommaton, added : ''I'm not sure if they're playing or they're stressed.''<br /><br />Thailand has an estimated 2,000 elephants living in the wild and a similar number in captivity. Many are used at zoos, sanctuaries or kept for religious processions and celebrations such as weddings.<br /><br />The coronavirus pandemic has seen many elephant centres that relied on tourism now releasing their animals or handing them over to rehabilitation facilities.
