Looks like she’s an asian elephant which are smaller than the african ones . The females are around 30% percent smaller than their african counterparts

Judging by her head shape and ear size, she’s an Asian elephant, and they tend to be smaller than African elephants.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking! Poor little guy was enjoying a nice nap, and mama and the zookeepers insisted on waking him up! 😠

@@Milesco may be zookeepers bit him .

Yes, and they woke him up rudely - the baby was very scared.

Sorry baby mom is upset you sleeping too long.😅

​@@Milescomaybe mama is worried why baby is sleeping for too long

That was so cute

Imagine a human baby waking up and running into their parents bedroom at night. What supernatural force has taken over this child to make it capable of not just walking but running?

Startled awake and ran to mom confused and for protection.

Lies again? Deliver babies like sugar peanuts

I have read conflicting research on whether naps are good or bad for you. Sod the research, I like sleeping.

​@@pineapplepenumbranaps can be very rejuvenating but the most you want to go for is 30mins to 1hour otherwise you'll feel sluggish and less energetic than before. An old guy from like the 20th century would hold onto a pen or something that was hovering over a plate and would try to go to sleep. Once he dosed off the pen fell and hit the plate waking him back up, which he said made him feel more energetic and alert.

@@BaronRodney "otherwise you'll feel sluggish" There are other ways to feel than sluggish? Bloody hell! I'm currently trying to motivate myself to do some press ups, but it takes so bloody long.

I think she's mentally put them in the same space as the aunties she would be raising her baby with on the savannah.

One big happy family!

Me too! Walked away like she was relieved and with friends!😅

It says a lot about an elephant's intelligence that she can recognize and trust the helpfulness of the humans.

Especially if you have a bunch of tiny fairies taking care of you and your kid.

Normally that's the job of the Matriarch of the herd

They only sleep 5 minutes at a time in the wild, he has to be made to wake up. They stay awake over 20 hours a day.

@@moomoo-bv3ig very informative thank you!

Momma knew it was feeding time, so she got the keepers to get the baby up.

Exactly

How do we know that? They don’t show the part where she “asked for help”. And they enter with stab sticks

@@M_SC Probably out of precaution. They are interacting with a GIANT animal's baby. What to look at is the body language of everyone. The mother watching but letting the humans pass right on by, letting them touch her baby (from behind, most likely out of safety for them) without crowding, and the keeps just casually walking in and doing their job, At the end, you can see 1-2 keepers giving the mom attention and petting her, most likely to distract and keep her calm. All of this is telling a story of trust and care .... while also being somewhat ready for anything. They also had a bucket, but not heavily filled with anything. Possibly food, but not sure.

@@M_SC Can’t you see? The carer moves him back and forth and when he gets up, the carer is smiling. All I saw was kindness. You have to use common sense. Of course they’re carrying sticks because these are huge animals but I think give credit where it’s due.

170th like here!

I Agree❤️ They’re Definitely Doing the Right Type of Work, and Enjoy Going into work Every Single Day. Animals can Feel Peoples Hearts, so Even IF There is One of The Employees that works But Really doesn’t Like Animals, The Elephants can sense that, and Will AVOID THE WORKER At All costs, and KEEP HIM AWAY From Her Baby.

(::^ω^::)

Don't know about those sticks. Look like bullwhips to me. Circus assholes use em to beat the elephants... Men are not to be trusted.

The are caged since they are born, they get food from them, do they have any option? Just like a dog is born in captivity and has no other option but to "love you" is insane people confuse love and forced captivity.

Note to parents. If your baby is sound asleep, use it as an opportunity to get some shut-eye yourself.

"us humans" nice try elephant!

​@@marksilvernail4420I have the tug of war...nap or a moment of peace lol

Typical kids

yea looks like a muppet lol

One couple of parents I know went to see a physician when their first baby slept soundly the whole night almost every night without waking even to feed. After a thorough examination with no findings the physician finally just told that's normal. Some babies just are like that. Be happy and grateful of good luck! 😅

@@Ba_Yegu that was me after 3 weeks, but I would want to stay up until 10 pm 😅

@@Ba_Yegu my parents said the same thing about me. They called the hospital after the third night or so and they just told them to let me sleep. It was an even bigger shock since my older brother had constant night terrors until just after I was born.

Same , I woke and it was bright and thought omg , never ran to her crib so fast in my life 😅

That baby smiling in his sleep. Precious!!

the cuteness was happy I'm sure until he was woken up hahaha I would have been grumpy and complaining hahahaha

I would accept that explanation.

💕💖🏆 best comment and true

Deep REM sleep for sure

And sometimes you do not need to be a mother to know, Just a human being with feelings. Mothers do not have special gene or have some kind of universal only to them feeling. Just saying.

@@erikalulea3608 Jesus Christ! if you don’t understand mothers and babies have a bond like no other you just a numpty.

I felt so connected to her, absolutely- sister Elephant ❤

@@erikalulea3608 Actually we do. This special connection happens during the pregnancy and birthing process. Probably similar to twins because you spend time nurturing from the same body.

​@@schoolgyrl6 What special connection?

❤

Who's worried? The baby was clearly moving in its sleep.

@@johnd5398 I don´t think the keepers were worried, cause the baby was breathing and in rem-sleep (moving legs like he/she was running around in the dream - in this phase it is really hard to wake up, especially when you feel very comfortable - that is why sometimes people miss their clock when they need to get up earlier as common). For me it was more to giving Mama Elephant a helping hand, as she was a bit worried (maybe at this time it is common for her to move position because of sun is getting stronger or it was time to get food).maybe In the end no one wants the baby to get burned from the sun as elephant skin is very sensitive (that is something no one awaits, but that is the reasons elephants love to wear mudpacks, when it very sunny and hot or many flies are around). So in the end it was prevention/ordinary daily business and no emergency, for me the keeper looked like: "I told you that the baby is having only a very deep nap, like yesterday". Maybe he was a bit under pressure as there is always a risk how Mommy will react especially she was a bit stressed (even she got them for help, she could have understand the "shaking" of the Baby as an attack, even her best friend was doing it - in the end elephants are still wild animals with another brainstructure as our cats, dogs and other domesticated and breeded animals f.e. cows and sheeps

Fine, know-it-all.@@johnd5398

​@@johnd5398you can be moving and sick at the same time

@@johnd5398 That showed the baby was alive, but it's not proof that the baby was okay. At that moment they wouldn't know whether the baby was just in a very deep sleep, or was sick and unconscious. "Alive" doesn't equal "all is well", and he was clearly relieved that the baby woke up and ran to mom, understandably.

@KimmyBee I agree and noticed that aswell. Idk if you actually read my comment but no where in it did I praise or show love to the humans in the video. Your time would be better spent commenting such things under posts that *do* actually make it apparent they think this is a good living situation for elephants.

You wanted him to start doing cartwheels or something ? Lol jk

TF is this thread seriously..?

@KimmyBee I'm not telling you how to spend your time nor do i think i have any authority over you, i just that I think your comment would've done more good under a post that actually praised the situation. How is that a terrible thing to say? You made a presumption about my comment, so I cleared it up, and you apparently think that's bad? Wasn't trying to put you down at all, unlike what you're doing now. You've made a huge assumption about my character bc you didn't like one comment, and that says plenty about your own character. I have autism and English is my third language so i'm not always the best at communicating and if you had just said something along the lines of "whoa, I don't like the way you said that" or told me you felt insulted then I would've tried to rephrase my comment and its intention for you. But instead of clearing up whatever miscomunication there was and talking to a fellow animal lover, you've insulted my private life and me as a person without knowing the kind of emotional damage that could do. I'm a complete stranger to you. You have no way of knowing I have mental health issues and that what you said will circulate in my head for weeks. You ask how I could ever have a relationship or how anyone could be vaulnerable with me, and I now find myself wondering the same for you, stranger. You seem incredibly unkind, bordering on gaslighting even. I would've been happy to talk or clear up whatever you didn't like about my comment, because I still don't understand what's wrong with it. If you read it with an attitude then I can't do anything about that. Please leave me alone.

@@shizukagozen777 Some weird ass /sad ass people in here, I agree.

Looked like baby was twitching, must have been having an intense dream, like a dog chasing a rabbit in its sleep. Glad baby and mom are o.k.

The bond between mother and offspring is (usually) very strong, and that is the feeling the mother has. To love, on the other hand, is to will some other else's good for its own self, and not because the lover wants something back from the beloved. Only humans can do that.

except democrat moms in usa..... they brag about killing their babies on national tv!!!!!

Hey, maybe you tell that to ELon Musk who is maiming and killing animals for his brain implant trials.😫😫

Oxytocin.

Welcome to the human race!

Money, like everything else in life.

@@IlIlllIllIlIIIll That's hilarious, just gangs of roaming elephants that go around rebelling against the system and stealing corn

Maybe don't build your farm on their land, then? Humans have a nasty habit of thinking we're more important than anything else on the planet, and so call anything that doesn't share that view as a pest or a threat, when actually we're the ones who created that situation in the first place.

​@@IlIlllIllIlIIIll its clear you have absolutely no idea about what you are talking about. In their native range (S asia) where they often turn to villages and paddy fields for food, it's because of a variety of anthropogenic reasons. Habitat destruction to convert forest lands to farmlands, industrial construction and mining are three major reasons. If you'd care to study the historical accounts of man-elephant conflicts in those regions, the causal relationship is very evident. They do not simply choose to attack villages. Calling elephants pests just goes to show your gross ignorance

In the wild and their ideal natural environment older elephants would do this. Sadly human controlled spaces are needed to protect them due to killing and exploitation by humans incl black market trades and poaching for zoos and pet stores (esp monkeys, birds and reptiles) or worse. Babies are taken and the mom often killed. All for profit.

@@jamesallan1883 Pretty unnecessary thing to say to bring down such a pleasant comment. The keepers were holding cattle prods. Though they rather be super gentile, they were ready to rock.

To be fair, keeping her calm is essential to leaving that enclosure alive. She may only be an asian elephant, but she's more than enough to ruin or end all three of their lives.

If it weren't for little thing called "Stranger Danger" I would love to spend a day up close and personal with these animals!😊

Where else was it going to go?

Amen.

Absolutely right.He has his priorities..

She’s scared of the bullhook in the handlers hand. Thinking she might get jabbed so she runs to mom. Bigger picture here

What a great comment and how true it is!

My personal issue was that I'd do this on school days, but on weekends/holidays I could not sleep past 6 AM

It’s not trust. The elephant handler is carrying a stick with a sharp end. It’s called a bull hook and it’s used to inflict pain if the elephant doesn’t do what they want.

@@KimmyBee I don't think that's the case actually. The pole has 2 ends, and they don't appear to be sharp. They are likely cattle prods. They're not really powerful enough to cause any real harm, but if an elephant doesn't see a keeper and goes to walk over them, such as when moving sideways / backwards, this could save the keeper's life. Or if the elephant takes a turn and does get defensive over the baby, it will give the keepers some safety.

@@Pattoe If you read up on it, you'll see how it's used.

@@KimmyBeeIt’s too small. The sticks look like they are for the buckets. Also, this is a sanctuary. You should not think so negatively and assume the worse.

​@@KimmyBee Looks like the sticks that are used to feed some animals. The fact that you're so sure that they mistreat their elephants is sick. If that was the case, the mama would have NEVER ask for their help. 🙄🤦‍♀️
