Their strong interpersonal bonds are what makes poaching even more tragic ... it disrupts and demoralizes the family group to lose a member, especially an older adult with leadership responsibilities. Awful.

jurassicsushi Hi there. It was a very cool rainy and over-casted day. It started raining shortly after the video was taken. I also saw the little fella afterwards walking with the herd towards the near by river. I think it was rather a matter of the temperature of the tarmac road was warmer and more inviting that the bushy are the herd was walking through. Hope this info can help.

@juanitakruger5805 9 жыл бұрын

Hi there. For all those who are wondering about the wellbeing of this little elephant calf, I think the little baby elephant is ok. Saw him walking into the bush towards the nearby river after the nail-biting 15 minutes of wondering what was wrong. May be the tarmac road was just warmer than the bushy area where this herd was walking through, even though it looked like something was wrong. It was a cold morning and over-casted early morning.

+John Healy Pretty sure Rab was only pointing out that elephants can also be dangerous/violent. Because they can be, no one said they weren't beautiful or that they couldn't be gentle etc.Also no one made any mention of anything to do with Nazis or how crappy humans are. So kinda unnecessary there. Most people are well aware of those facts anyway, thanks. So calm your nerves, people are allowed to say animals are dangerous and violent too without it turning into an attack. Anything has the potential to be violent or dangerous.

and this is one of many reasons why I dont want elephants to become extinct. They are truly amazing animals with deeply profound emotional and mental complexities. This here is one of many examples of how compassionate they are towards each other, staying behind to help a member of their own herd get back on his or her own feet. Sometimes I see in animals some of the most admirable aspects of the human animal....aspects that I wish more humans would show to each and to other animals on a regular basis.

Elephant's show their love for eachother and watch out for one another it's so beautiful and heartwarming 💗it really makes my heart smile and cry because 🥰 it's so crazy to actually get to see them interact with eachother in this way , Elephant's are my Favorite 🐘 Animal I truly Love them so much ❤️🐘

Calf : I can't walk any more, I am done for today. Herd : Lets go buddy we can not wait for you. Mother : Get up , You can not sleep here, you are blocking the road. Calf : I don't care , I am too tired to get up Another calf : Let's go bro, Every one has already left. Mother : He is not going to get up like this, I will have to make him get up. Then she pushes him from one side to make him get up but calf tries to lay down on other side so mother goes on other side and blocks him from laying down on that side while his brother blocks the other side and they make him stand up. Calf : You guys are too much. Calf starts walking in anger. KZfaq viewers : What a touching video, this brought tears in my eyes.
