Max had just been rescued from poachers when this video, viewable on the BBC website, was filmed. He can be seen gripping a bottle of water and putting his trunk on Roberts' shoulder.

Max was an orphan. Poachers killed 100 elephants between Chad and Cameroon in March 2013, and his parents were among them.

Tragically, Max died shortly after his escape.
