It seems to me that the larger older (grandmother) elephant trying to step in and show mom how it should be done. And she was right. What amazing and heartwarming animals. Our Grand Creator is worthy of praise!

Seeing the mother on her knees killed me. a mother's love.we won't give up on our babies.

The bigger elephant was the matriarch of the herd she knew mom was stressing out and she knew mom was an experienced in getting the baby out she didn’t want to hurt her by pushing but it all worked out and I’m so glad they are beautiful creatures love them ❤️💕❤️🐘🐘🐘

I imagine mom and baby both learned from the situation. The matriarch definitely schooled the mama in a good way.

Us mothers including many in the animal kingdom have similar emotions when it comes to the safety and love for our children. What a beautiful and intriguing world!!

What is my obsession with elephants!!!

Прекрасные создания Всевышнего🙏🙏🙏 слонёнок милота😘😘😘

Not a fight the mama elephant was like I can do it I can take care of my own baby and maybe grandma was like you don't know what you doing move out of the way that's what I look like to me

Ils sont tellement intelligents et solidaires 🐘

0:17 😲😲😲OMG she dropped to her knees like a human being 😻

If the mother stopped fighting with the grandmother then maybe that baby would have been out sooner. I guess it's like a young first time human mother demanding she take care of things herself rather than let someone else help out.

Both the elephants display very complex emotions. The mother is panicking, and with her maternal instincts kicked in, is not allowing the bigger elephant to go closer to the baby. The bigger elephant is getting angry looking at the baby shivering and mom not doing enough to help the baby. In fact, its the larger elephant which gets into the water and pushes the baby out finally in-spite of the confused mom trying to block her.

Such wonderful moments to see this wonderful and blessed elephants together they can everything.

I’ve seen situations where the females make the mom who’s in the way (because she’s nervous)and other elephants move away so the matriarch (experienced mom)can help baby most of the elles are freaking out anyway they learn by seeing they’re so magnificent I have to watch them every day and they make me laugh 😂

Bless it's little heart, it was so tired when it finally got out. I hope it's ok.

Love the sound of the elephant's rumble.

Qué hermosos los elefantes tan protectores ya amorosas ellas como madres.

It appears that the mom and baby needed some help and training by the elders.

Mom tried so much. She is amazing💕

Невероятно! Какой мощный интеллект у животных! Не только спасли детёныша, но ещё в конце и по рукам ударили (хоботы сплели)🙂

What a relief! I respect elephants!

Animals when in trouble: *literally all nearby animals rush to help* Humans when in trouble: *Rear-camera activated*

Wow. The baby elephants are just SO cute. Sweet almost:)

It was not a fight; the older elephant was showing the mother how to get the baby out; however, the Mom didn't trust the older elephant, as it may have crushed the baby if it pushed very hard.

Good mama!🐘❤ The experience will come in time!👍

4:56 Grandma : They just walked off!!!! That's ingratitude for you.....

Around 0:58, you can see a liquid excreting from a slit to the right of the adult elephants eye (that elephant is not the mother). Elephants do this when they are in distress, upset, scared or sad. A good example of elephant empathy, they feel the mothers pain. Also, I don't think those two adult elephants were fighting. That other elephant, by the looks of it, is the matriarch (head of the heard/family) and possibly the grandmother. She was helping the mother push the baby out. The trunk locking at 4:27 is an affectionate greeting, almost as a way of saying thank you.

What a beautiful video, wish humans could have displayed the same kind of affection towards animals as well!

The mom looks so young.

Whew. The bigger one seemed to want a solution too but was arguing for a rougher more radical approach ? Little mama stood her ground and prevailed. Good mama !!!

Amazing to watch these beautiful animals work together and figure out how to get the calf to safety. They are so smart and I love how the bond between mother , baby and herd is so tight. You can just see the complex thinking these animals do to help one another. Never gets old watching elephants

How cute is that baby elephant's walk😍😍😍😍

She said thank you with tha trunks @4:29🐘🐘

Looks more like the matriarch is trying to get the mother to move out of the way so she can help but mama wont.

Fantastic .but ellies are wonderous beings anyway . impossible not to love these beautiful creatures

Elephant calves do not at first understand how top heavy they are, and the danger that edges represent.

It was beautiful how they helped one another👍😉 to save the baby.

Amazing love between mother and her calf

Omg, so cute😚. Looks like a day old.

I freaked out! Perseverance, girls! Awesome recovery

Awww....they left grandma in the hole lol☺😊😊❤

Thank God baby elephant saved

I love how the ladies …aunts sisters and cousins all care for all the babies. They all celebrate and go bonkers happy when a new one is born . When it’s stuck in mud( that’s very common occurrence. ) They all try to help. The statistics are if a new elephant is born to big sisters then the baby calf’s survival rate increases by I forget the percentage minimum 20% it is less for baby calf’s born to big brothers. It’s the same for Indian elephants and the pigmy elephants.

O thank you God for helping save the bsby elephant . I 'm sure that it was difficult to watch for all of us when so hoped and prayed that it would be a successful outcome. Thank goodnes.+

Hermoso y tierno video. Bendiciones.

Elephants are the most important creature of God

Bless God the little one is saved!... 🙏❤

oh small baby struggle cute baby

Как это трогательно !

The larger elephant seemed to be the matriarch who was not fighting the mother, but seemed to be trying to get the mother to move out of the way so that she (the matriarch) could better help rescue the baby. If you look closely, the presumed matriarch is the first one of the two to try to move behind the baby to push it up out of the water, while the mother was trying unsuccessfully to pull the baby up by its trunk. The mother was frantic to protect her baby instead of trusting the matriarch to help her. The matriarch is usually more experienced than the other cows because she is older, wiser, usually bigger, has had several babies herself, leads, and sets the pace for the entire herd. The mother, in this case, seems to be a young cow (by virtue of her size) who is probably a first time, inexperienced mother. Usually the herd would have stuck around and helped separate the frantic mother from the baby so that the matriarch and several of the older cows could concentrate on saving the baby. It seems unusual that this didn't happen with this incident.

Those two worked together to get baby out they even looked like they did a hi trucks as soon as baby was out.

PHEWWW!!!🥺...🥹...😃THAT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL!!!🩷🍼🐘 FIRST TO SEE A BABY STUCK AND HELPLESS 😭❤️‍🩹💔❣️... BUT THEN TO SEE THE QUARRELING ADULTS PUT THEIR DIFFERENCES ASIDE MOMENTARILY AND GET IN THERE AND SAVE THAT TINY LITTLE BABY!!!🥰😍😘🩷🐘🍼🩵🐘🍼🩵🐘🍼 THANK GOD FOR SENSIBLE TEAM WORK!!!😂 THEN SETTLE YOUR DIFFERENCES LATER😂 THANK YOU FOR JUST SAVING THE POOR LITTLE BABY!!!🩵🐘🍼🩷😍😘 CAUSE ELEPHANTS ROCK!!! 💜🦣💜🦣💜🦣🦣🦣💚🌳💦⛰️🌊🤓🫶🏾🙋🏾🔥🙏🏾👑✝️📖🔥🕊️

Cosa avrebbero fatto gli umani al loro posto? Questi video dimostrano la saggezza e l'amore puro ed incondizionato, vero che solo gli animali sanno dare, gli umani sanno solo essere ipocriti, maligni, cattivi

Обалдеть!!!🙆🙆🙆

The first 3 seconds was funny. Elephants are very smart and patient. That was funny

Why you wasn’t watching her that’s the same as us the Mom says I was watching her. That’s why I believe there’re fighting. All out of love 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I like when baby is in trouble hole family is coming to help mother that is great

Cute baby 👍! Thanks for posting 👍!

Elephants are one of God's awesome creation. Just came across this video. Thnk you

Look at that. Mom on her knees.

aww! They shook "hands" with their trunks after getting the baby out at 04:28 ❤

I think that baby isn’t even two weeks old yet he’s/she’s exhausted from the ordeal keeping up with moms though 🐘

To see her get on her knees is so human like.

DES MERVEILLES DE LA NATURE ........

Thank god he was saved at last

I just love the way they take care of their babies just beautiful and amazing what the Messiah put in them to do

Did they shake trunks, after they got the baby out. Waaay 2 Cute! I 💜 it.🐘🐘🐘

WOW, GREAT TEAM WORK

what a releif to see that happy ending.

Mommy is so good care for her baby stuck in the madly hole she don,t want to go far away from her baby. It awesome to see the mommy so good thank you for sharing your video.

Maravilhoso ver tanta solidariedade, tanto amor e compaixão. Ah se todos os seres vivos fossem assim. ...seria mesmo o paraíso.....

Lmao 3:22 love how mom tried to back kick....they are all so cute!

I love elephants so much🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Not a fight, the other elephant was trying to help rescue the baby as she sensed that the mother was inexperienced, but the mother kept coming in her way. You can see that it's the other elephant that finally pushes the baby out of the hole. It is very likely that this elephant was the baby's grandmother. Happy ending ...all smiles!

Wow that was awesome 👍 teamwork

Love cute little baby elle and love mama elefents 😍😍😍😍😍

After all that the poor baby was almost too tired to stand up once it got out.

The young mother seemed panicked and inexperienced. It was the bigger elephant she was fighting with that actually got the calf out by pushing it up with her tusks

what a cute adorable calf

Very happy love three. Ha Ha Ha.

I have never seen a baby elephant so small.

Yes they were both trying to help....

I always thought Elephants we're close-knit and intelligent.

C’est absolument incroyable et magnifique cette entraide

El elefante más grande es un macho, no es la matriarca, sino que es un macho que intenta ayudar al bebé, pero la madre no cree mucho en su eficiencia por eso trata de impedirselo. Impresiona como la madre protege al bebé para que el macho no se acerque.

Fighting amongst themselves would seem to indicate a lack of leadership. There needs to be a power figure to tell them to knock it off.

Them's some happy campers now 😊

lol that first elephant who came by to check things out literally said "hhmmmp!!!"

My laptop touchpad vibrated at 5:00 when the Mother growled!

It's as if the mother is saying, "No! You'll hurt him." But the older elephant kept trying to get a little push in and it worked.

more like two women are fighting to help the baby

Mom does not have grandma's experience...

I think it's so cute how they take their trunk and turn around and check on them an take that trunk And kinda scoot them along

Good job ladies

Nico Verster videografher this is a amazing great job

I love 🐘

The bigger elephant is telling the mother why don't you just push the baby up? let me do it for you. And mum is telling her, you don't need to interfere. Let the baby learns by itself.

Nice..baby

Yep the bigger one is grandmama!! she know best.

q bebe tan hermoso
