I love how adult elephants feel so wise, elegant and majestic in thier presence, and by contrast their babies are so silly and playful and cute. My favorite wild animal.

Baby elephant: Mom! I found some humans! Mom: that’s nice but you aren’t getting one

I like the way he thanked the mum after the whole show😂😂😂 "thank you very much, you've been so kind to us"

I get a laugh at how he was chuckling at the baby's remarkable precociousness and then mom decided she would let her presence be known and the mood changed.

Little guy is showing he's a protector at a young age. So cute.

I'm 71 and when I was around 8 I was able to ride an elephant at the St. Louis Zoo. Through my life I thought about how neat that was. Then I began to think about this magnificent animal walking in circles with kids on top of them. I'm so glad there have been rescues and I know they don't have animal shows any longer there. It makes me sad that I thought how much fun the shows were watching the trained monkeys, etc. I just didn't know how sad they must have been. Thank you to all who rescue and support the freedom of these beautiful animals.

Baby: You just wait there a minute! First I need to get my milk from Mom, and then I'll come get you, and you'll be sorry....

I love the baby running away (so cute) and then hiding behind the bush. too cute.

The baby elephant to this day is bragging how he kicked that jeeps ass!

Baby elephants are adorable

Baby boy: When dad's not at home I'm the man of the house.. Don't worry momma I'll protect you. Lol. I love love loveee elephants!!!

Not too many things cuter than a baby elephant. 💜

The baby is so adorable! And mama is absolutely beautiful ♡♡♡

Such a cute little baby... Mamma's like "child, I told you to stay away from those hoomans"

This has to be the best animal video that I've ever seen! At the start of the video when the little guy was nearest the vehicle looking like he wanted to play and the gentleman laughed and said "this is too wonderful for words" well it was actually quite touching and amusing! The gentlemans amazement and sheer joy was as genuine as I've ever seen or heard! You could tell straight away that this baby Elephant is a male, such a young one but already behaving like a Bull Elephant with his mock charges and seemingly unafraid! Absolutely, unequivocally the most adorable thing that I've ever seen! As long as I live I will never forget this!!! Thank you so much! This has made my day, week, month, year, decade!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sweet to see the little one building his confidence, mom knows he's only practising/playing, hence the reason she didn't get too involved. Lovely creatures, and bravo for being so calm in the presence of giants.

The cutest thing I've seen in a long time!! I love elephants so much their love and their loyalty for one another

"When I'm bigger I'm going to mess you up!"

I watched this 3 or 4 times just to hear James laughing at the baby Ellie running away and hiding behind the bush. Priceless 🤣🤣🤣

"I need a drink, mama - then I'm going back into battle!" Yeah - you don't want mama to think YOU'RE the one at fault here. XD

Whenever I'm feeling sad, lonely or just blue, I watch this post to remind me of how God's creatures are such a blessing! Thank you! Much love & prayers from Chicago, Illinois. USA.

How incredibly beautiful! The baby is absolutely adorable, the mother unbelievably calm.

So Good!! There at the end, his little bottom when he was running away to hide behind the bush😂 Simply Perfect!!😍

So cute, what fierce little guy.

I saw this live. This little guy thought he was tough stuff protecting his momma. It was so adorable.

James is so good at describing the situations, he is trying his best to let us feel as he is feeling, and me I feel like I'm just with him on the car. Great James Hendry!

Simply amazing 💓 I've never seen this up close and the baby suckling on his mother.- beautiful

To this day, the baby elephant thinks his (hide behind and peer through the bush) method of charging worked and scared the jeep away.

I never get tired of watching James and the baby boy, how beautiful, and makes me smile. Just always picks my moo up, how precious! God bless!!

What an amazing baby ellie. He controlled the whole show, his mom and the humans. 😂

Taking some super-milk, making him super-brave❣ " I'll protect you, mom" 🐘 Adorable, ty❣

That was adorable just priceless.

his little tongue is so adorable

That was absolutely wonderful. The combination of rare close up nursing footage with the playfulness of the baby (loved the hiding behind the bush) and James Hendrys brilliant chat and infectious chuckling makes this so precious. Well done to all, animal and human!

Young baby elephants are so funny!! James is my favorite guide on Safari Live. His knowledge, sense of humor & laugh is proof of how much he enjoys what he does. I would love to have him as a guide for a game drive---I"m sure he would prove to be the best guide there is!!

The mom elephant is very beautiful :)

That was such a precious moment that baby is the cutest little thing

This is one of my ALL-time FAVES!!! Some classic behavior + wonderful close-up shots...but the end was TOO dang funny!

That brave little boy is protecting his mother while she protects him. How lucky you were to see such beauty up close.

, I can't believe humans can kill these beautiful innocent animals, for pure greed!!!!!! It breaks my heart 😥

I can't stand it; everytime James laughs I fall apart! When the baby ellie mock charges & runs behind the bush, James's laughter absolutely tickles me and I have to laugh, too! I've watched this video a few times...a real safariLIVE classic!

AWESOME footage!!! Loved this little one's "Bravado"!!! Had a feeling it was a male calf...Sure enough! 🐘

Poor baby. He’s giving it his all, his best, fiercest charge, and gets laughed at. It was too darn cute! ❤

How can anyone not smile and have all cares forgotten while watching a sighting like this? ~.~

Baby elephants calf's drink 50/litres of milk a day.... Such a beautiful video, looks like this bull calf is gonna be a heard leader some day, his whole character, the way he's mock charging shows it all. Loved watch his every move. I love these gentle giants of earth :)

That little baby is just too cute! And it is quite remarkable how calm his mother was. Thank you, James and your camera man, for sharing this rare and wonderful experience with us.

When ever i need a smile ;i watch this over & over ^1000 times

This clip never gets old .. love the baby Ellie and James commentary is so lovely and funny

He his behind the bushes and started staring at them like they couldnt see him🤣🤣🤣🤣

curious about that truck. watched by the sister in the distance. when mama came he ran toher. JUST like a human child who is not supposed to do somethng and caught in the act.....so cute....love them

My absolute favorite guy commenting on the elephants; so much respect for the mom elephant & babies; acknowledges how cute & fun, funny they can be while also reminding us those cute babies grow to be 6 ton giants in a relatively speaking, short amount of time. Been watching for years, & still watching ... ... ...

In the midst of Covid-19, this post brings such AMAZING JOY to my broken spirit. Thank you ALL so very much for the love and passion of conservation from Africa! Sending all of you thanks & blessings from Chicago, Illinois. USA.

The size of mommy's ears when she gets pissed ...

Adorable baby. Little baby didn't like your looks. Letting you know, don't start nothing won't be nothing. Thanks for posting.

That's priceless! As I watched this, in my mind I was hearing my brother when he was about three saying "don't worry, Mommy, I'll bertect you!" ♥️♥️♥️

This was the cutest! That baby Elephant made my ❤️ melt !! What a personality on that little baby !!

The "face planting" thing is their little version of "tusking the ground" that larger ones do to show that they're the boss :D

That elephant is beyond adorable ❤️

He will grow up to be a great Protector one day! Proud Mama: "That's my boy!" (Elephants have a Matriarchal Order .) I love Elephants!!! 💕🐘💕

truly unbelievable. I'm in NZ and I felt like I could touch the mom and baby. amazing camera and camera work. 👏🏽👏🏽. Awesome work Brian.

Really cute. That could get dangerous really fast, but of course they know better.

When the babies push their faces into the soil they are just copying the males that do this when they come into musth. Researchers say during musth they get swelling of the temporal glands that presses on the elephants eyes and can cause acute pain, so the elephants try to counteract this pain by digging their tusks into the ground. Others that have observed this say it is a display of aggression, a mock killing, showing what the elephant would do to another. So again while in musth usually and by the males playing. Baby is copying what he has been shown, he just doesn't realize he needs some tusks. lol

That was priceless, cheeky little boy. He put on an amazing show for you all. How very lucky and privileged you all were to witness such shear delight, I wish I was there with you all. Ellie’s are my absolute favourite creatures. Love 💓 them. Thank you for sharing 🥰

Ohh, what a brave, precocious little boy! Totally amazing to see the close ups of him suckling- this is really a very special video! THANK YOU for sharing it with everyone!

Elephant charging : absolutely priceless !!! I think she was trying to muster up courage but kept backing away, throws her trunk in dirt perhaps like a little kid hiding under a blanket to hide. She comes out and tries again...eventually the anxiousness gets too much for her and she goes to run behind the bush to hide. 😂 Most adorable !!!!!

So cute! James Hendry and baby ellies, two of my favourite things!

DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER than An ADORABLE, Cute, LOVABLE, PRECIOUS BABY ELEPHANT 🐘.

" Oh your so big and bwave" cracked me up so much. I love James.

I love elephants but I would be lying if I said they didn't frighten me sometimes.

Omg, the little baby badass! 🤗🐘 This was beyond precious. 🤣🥰 Plus, love hearing James' accent and seeing this. First time I've felt the desire to go see them in person - not in a zoo. Breathtaking. Thank you for posting! 🙋🇰🇪🌍❤️

naughty baby making mum worried sick

I've never seen a nursing baby elephant before. Precious little beast.

Definitely one of my favorite SafariLive sightings. How adorable.

James is hysterical! I love this video--so charming!

This is by far my favorite safari video. The interaction is too cute and funny. I watch it often......makes me happy.....smiles and laughter are a gift. 💗💗💗

I do love the commentary - so often I find it a distraction.but here it is spot on and delightful

I can't tell you how many times I have viewed this video. I absolutely love James and this baby elephant. When I've had a bad day this is one of my "'go to videos". Thank you to all involved that make this magic happen!!

That little guy is amazing. I had a real good laugh along with James. lol. Thank you for posting.

Fierce little guy, trying to protect his Mom. I've loved elephants 🐘 all my life. So happy there are people out there trying to protect them from the killer jerks..

The mother looked so beautiful with the setting sun shining on her.

He sure changed his tone when mama came ... cute lil fella

Yeh, I'm not scared of you. I've got a big strong mama behind me!

That baby elephant was trying to cross boundaries! But you guys stayed cool and handled very well! A good job James!

I love James. What a delightful and kind man. I want to see many many more videos with him.

This is dangerously cute

Too adorable for language!

I just can't stop watching this video!! I watch it at least 10 times a day because he is so cute and being so silly!! It is really cute when he stops drinking, he puts his trunk up to his mouth and sips and the sipping sound is so cute!!! Love this video!! 🥰😍❤️❣️

He/she is practicing being scarey, lol. Adorable.

Tim, I loved this sighting! Thank you so much for posting it. The baby was such a character!

Look at that bad boy...he's a frisky one. I see you bonding with him like a dad/lolol

LOL " planting their faces into the dirt" - probably the ellie of "I can't see you so now you can't see me!" ;-)

I was in Thailand years ago and got to play with the friendliest elephants ever, one of my nicest memories in life. This video has been so delightful, calming.

This is one of the most precious , natural videos I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. It is so rare a mama will allow the young ones to show off and be silly when so close to what they consider dangerous. Your organization must be very unique to get such opportunities . Again, thank you for the smiles and pleasure this gave.

Little man, finally found someone smaller than him and he wants to play 😀

What a wonderful glimpse into these elephants lives. Thank you. They are amazing creatures and that little baby elephant was so adorable and quite cheeky! 😂 omg I love this so much.

Cutest charge I’ve ever seen 💖🐘💖🐘💖

It's SO interesting that elephants have only 2 breasts below her front legs or the top of her chest if you will, just like us!!! Most udders like cows and sheep have are closest to the back legs so I find it fascinating.

What an amazing experience! To be there and whiteness it had to be a highlight in everyone's life. That little elephant was a total character. He was looking to cause, everyone in the vehicle, some serious trouble. Thank you for sharing such a perfect moment!

LOL, the funniest part was your cameraman Bryan telling you "too close", and James says " He is too close for what?" turns and looks and says "Oh", hahahahahahahahaha!!
