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.
😢😢😢😢😢
I cried.
we give up on them but they never give up that is modern life.

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 ❤️💕❤️🐘🐘🐘
What is my obsession with elephants!!!
FAT !
I don't know but I'm the same, they are so intelligent, they grieve when their friend or family member dies they are just amazing. I recently watched a video of a I think a Chinese woman who rescues elephants, she sings lullabies to them and they lie down and to to sleep. They also showed clips of people, most look Indian, that were so vicious and cruel to them it was unbearable to watch. How anyone could do what these sick people did I could never never understand. They were being cruel for the sake of it. People like that deserve the same thing to happen to them.
Exactly! May be we were all elephants in the previous birth! 😂
A great book to read is "The Last Giants” by Levison Wood. It is all about elephants, I am reading it now and I am loving it! God bless ❤️ He loves you all 💝
The same as mine! Enjoy it! 😊
I imagine mom and baby both learned from the situation. The matriarch definitely schooled the mama in a good way.
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
Well said...
Why all the "likes"? Americani for meaning nothing.
@Songs Mirth : I loved the way the inexperienced mother protected the baby from the larger elephant, even though the larger appeared to know better how to save the little one. Mama was too frightened to act effectively. It takes a herd to raise a baby elephant.
How sad that you felt compelled to insert your "politics" into such an intriguing video. Your comment speaks volumes about YOU and your obsession. The farther I read, the more embarrassed I became for you. Seriously, you need to seek help.
@Songs Mirth What's Trump got to do with this? He didn't push that baby in. And the world isn't "unbalanced", although some people are.
Songs Mirth You need to get out and live.
Ils sont tellement intelligents et solidaires 🐘
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.
Mothi S I like your explanation! Thank you
that was a great explanation....
Yeah, that's what it seemed to me, that the OLDER Mom was actually trying to HELP free the baby but the YOUNGER Mom didn't understand maybe because this is the first time in HER lifetime, a rescue attempt like this has been done? Plus of course she panicked.
This was so interesting I want sure what we happening all. I know is elephants help each other. Thank you for explaining. Makes sense.
It was a learning lesson from the older female!
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!!
Hey now don't count us dads out so fast. I hear you but i fought for years to save my daughter from her abusive alcoholic mother. Granted I think i was haven more maternal instinct in my male left foot than her mom's entire body.
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.
Such wonderful moments to see this wonderful and blessed elephants together they can everything.
Bless it's little heart, it was so tired when it finally got out. I hope it's ok.
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 😂
Mom tried so much. She is amazing💕
Прекрасные создания Всевышнего🙏🙏🙏 слонёнок милота😘😘😘

They do that all the time

I like to see elephants life videos because they remember me of my father.
It appears that the mom and baby needed some help and training by the elders.
Qué hermosos los elefantes tan protectores ya amorosas ellas como madres.
Animals when in trouble:
*literally all nearby animals rush to help*
Humans when in trouble:
*Rear-camera activated*
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.

The older ELEPHANT knew what she was doing. The mother is just being a mom, OVERLY PROTECTIVE AND SCARED. THATS A MOM. LOL
Abdisalam Farah, good analogy.
Agreed
Yes my thoughts exactly. The grandma or older elephant is more experienced. Maybe threatened the mother.
What a relief! I respect elephants!
Love the sound of the elephant's rumble.
Good mama!🐘❤
The experience will come in time!👍
Невероятно! Какой мощный интеллект у животных! Не только спасли детёныша, но ещё в конце и по рукам ударили (хоботы сплели)🙂
I've become awed and humbled by watching videos like this one. I can tell you are simarlarly moved, aren't we fortunate ? Take care, Pat
4:56 Grandma : They just walked off!!!! That's ingratitude for you.....
No, I saw mum and grandma made a small gesture of reconciliation before
Wow. The baby elephants are just SO cute. Sweet almost:)
The mom looks so young.
a teenage mom i guess. an unexpected baby I guess
@@doduyle8476 elephants have 2 vaginas they will only get pregnant when they are ready to. So even if a bull chooses them they have to allow pregnancy to happen.
@@msdramamusic Elephants most certainly do not have two vaginas. They have one, just like every other female animal.
It was beautiful how they helped one another👍😉 to save the baby.
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
@sarahspeaks144 wow, you are so right!! It's just like a human that has traveled to a certain place many times and if asked how to get there we would tell them the same thing, mostly as you said, from imprint and memory and had never tried to find another faster or better way because it always got them where they needed to be. I feel as humans we can't attach our thoughts or reasoning to what an animal does and if left to handle it most often they figure it out for themselves. It may not be in our way or our time but they get there and as you said for their own good reasons. I compare it to the lesson a grandmother would teach her children and grandchildren where a certain vegetable grows best so when it comes time to do planting for themselves they know best, and yes plant may grow great somewhere else at one time the place she showed them works all the time
@sarahspeaks144 lol you sound like my long lost twin!! My hubby tells me I'd get lost in a wrinkled paper bag. I've got zero sense of direction and my way to give directions is by asking if they know where the big White house on the hill is and the fence on the left. Drives my hubby nuts. After 25 years of marriage he given up letting me drive on trips away from home😂😂
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.
How cute is that baby elephant's walk😍😍😍😍
Looks more like the matriarch is trying to get the mother to move out of the way so she can help but mama wont.
What a beautiful video, wish humans could have displayed the same kind of affection towards animals as well!
I've been fortunate to know many, took it for granted and watching videos like this, I've become awed and humbled by them. The experience has changed me.
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 !!!
I freaked out! Perseverance, girls! Awesome recovery
She said thank you with tha trunks @4:29🐘🐘
Awww....they left grandma in the hole lol☺😊😊❤
Omg, so cute😚. Looks like a day old.
Amazing love between mother and her calf
Bless God the little one is saved!... 🙏❤
I didn't see any flash of light or giant hand reaching down from the sky.
Seems to me the elephants did all the work and deserve all the kudos.
Elephant calves do not at first understand how top heavy they are, and the danger that edges represent.
Cute baby 👍! Thanks for posting 👍!
Those two worked together to get baby out they even looked like they did a hi trucks as soon as baby was out.
Fantastic .but ellies are wonderous beings anyway . impossible not to love these beautiful creatures
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.
WOW, GREAT TEAM WORK

To see her get on her knees is so human like.
I love elephants so much🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
Wow that was awesome 👍 teamwork
I like when baby is in trouble hole family is coming to help mother that is great
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!
Yes I felt the same.
Perhaps I'm letting a little anthropomorphism sneak in the door, but I definitely got the impression that grandma was getting a little impatient with her inexperienced daughter; "oh for goodness' sake get out the way lass, here, this is how it's done"!

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.+
I didn't see any flash of light or giant hand reaching down from the sky.
Seems to me the elephants did all the work and deserve all the kudos.
But I'm sure your prayers 5 months ago had a huge impact on the outcome of something that happened and was videoed 5 years ago.
'The Lord' surely does work in mysterious ways.
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.
aww! They shook "hands" with their trunks after getting the baby out at 04:28 ❤
Oh snap I didn't realize that they did OMG just another reason to love elephants
Did they shake trunks, after they got the baby out. Waaay 2 Cute! I 💜 it.🐘🐘🐘

Thank God baby elephant saved
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
DES MERVEILLES DE LA NATURE ........
I think that baby isn’t even two weeks old yet he’s/she’s exhausted from the ordeal keeping up with moms though 🐘
Обалдеть!!!🙆🙆🙆
Thank god he was saved at last
Them's some happy campers now 😊
Elephants are one of God's awesome creation. Just came across this video. Thnk you
Elephants are the most important creature of God
Lmao 3:22 love how mom tried to back kick....they are all so cute!
Juana R uvjnkxxx
I think it probably wasn't really a "kick" as such... Elephants have sensitive pads on the soles of their feet, and will often reach behind with their foot to examine who is behind them, just as they do with their trunks, and even occasionally their tails. You can see this kind of behaviour most often in mothers who are just checking their calves behind them. I guess it's easier than turning round when you're that big! So while it is of course possible that the kick you refer to in the video was intended to fend off the larger elephant, I suspect that mother may have just been keeping tabs on her whereabouts while she had her back turned.
NoneOfYour Beeswax thanks for the info 😀...it definitely was cute tho lol
what a cute adorable calf

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

poor little freak !
Nico Verster videografher this is a amazing great job
The way that baby's walking looks like that other elephant stuck a tusk up his bum. 😂 I love these beautiful creatures.
Mom does not have grandma's experience...
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 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Glad everything went well. That elephant at 1:00 drop a monster poo 😂
Very happy love three. Ha Ha Ha.
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!
I just love the way they take care of their babies just beautiful and amazing what the Messiah put in them to do
Amen .
Oh ,, wish I could help 😆
I know this is immature, but I can't stop laughing about the elephant dumping at 0:58 ! XD
in his defense it was a very stressful situation. i would have done the same
Good job ladies
Oh this baby is tiny!
Maravilhoso ver tanta solidariedade, tanto amor e compaixão. Ah se todos os seres vivos fossem assim.
...seria mesmo o paraíso.....
I can tell you are someone who does that yourself and the world is a better place for having you in it. Mujer hermosa.. Vaya con dios. Patricia.

I have never seen a baby elephant so small.
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
more like two women are fighting to help the baby
I always thought Elephants we're close-knit and intelligent.
25 years of experience in the area is not enough? 🤔
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.
