Unhappy elephant gets a little help from Sinatra

This sad elephant is soothed by Sinatra

Location: Islamabad, Pakistan

36-year-old Kavaan is being assessed

to see if he can be moved to a sanctuary

after spending most of his life in poor conditions

One expert found an unusual way

to cheer up the nervous elephant

by singing Sinatra's popular hit "My Way"

(SOUNDBITE) (English) FOUR PAWS INTERNATIONAL EXPERT, AAMIR KHALIL, SAYING:

"So, I am not a good singer but I started to take him behind, and to train him, and sing to him, so that he would accommodate me into a relationship. And I like the song Frank Sinatra, I don't know, I do it 'My Way,' and this was my breakfast with him all the last days and the nights. I think he hates me, and he hates Frank Sinatra now, but yeah, that's it."

Experts hope to move Kavaan to Cambodia

after a court ruled that all of the animals at Islamabad's zoo

must be set free

or transferred to a better environment
