This is the moment a clever elephant returned a shoe using its trunk after it fell into its zoo enclosure. <br /><br />Video shows the animal stooping to pick up the footwear before gently dropping it back into the visitor's hand.<br /><br />The elephant called Shanmai, which means "Mountains," resides at Shendiaoshan Wild Animal Nature Reserve in Weihai, China. <br /><br />According to a staff member, the elephant first thought the shoe was food but when it realised it wasn't upon picking it up, it returned it to its owner. <br /><br />Shanmai's keeper rewarded the animal's kind gesture with a watermelon.
