Amazing scene of Massive herd of Elephant swim across a vast reservoir to make their way back

- Hello, elephant lovers! Today, we are thrilled to share with you some captivating and rare footage showcasing the majestic sight of a massive herd of approximately 200 elephants gracefully crossing a vast reservoir. This mesmerizing scene was expertly captured by our drone camera, highlighting the challenging yet rewarding effort involved in documenting such a breathtaking scene.
During the monsoon season, the large tanks are replenished with water. . The elephant herd travels many miles to access this precious water source. In the banks of the tank, abundant tender grasses have grown, serving as a favorite food for the elephants.
Elephants have a fascinating social structure, with the basic family unit called a breeding herd. It consists of related females, including a mother and her grown daughters with their offspring. The matriarch, recognizable as the largest cow in the herd, leads the group and sets the activities and movements.
In this clip, you'll see them diving into this huge water source, having a great time as they swim across to the other side of the tank. It's their way of making it back home to their native habitats.
Let’s take an in-depth look at how elephants fare in water rather than on land. How does such a large animal like an elephant keep itself afloat, anyway? Can elephants swim underwater, too?
Water holds a special place in the hearts of elephants. In the wild, they consume approximately 150 to 200 liters of water daily, explaining their frequent presence near freshwater sources. By the age of around one year, elephants typically master the art of trunk-drinking by observing their parents or other experienced members of the herd. Due to the absence of sweat glands, elephants not only drink water to stay hydrated but also relish cooling off their bodies and engaging in playful splashes with their companions.
Amazingly, elephants are very strong natural swimmers. Almost all species of mammals are able to swim from birth.
Practically all mammal species have an innate ability to swim right from birth. Elephants employ a simple yet effective technique for swimming - they use their massive legs to paddle, much like a dog would. Their immense leg strength enables them to swim for up to six hours without interruption. Often, they traverse significant water bodies collectively to reach food and shelter, or they utilize lakes and rivers as convenient shortcuts to get from place to place.
On an average swim, an elephant maintains its head and body just beneath the water's surface while paddling its massive limbs in a back-and-forth motion. Interestingly, the elephant ensures its formidable trunk remains elevated above the water, functioning like a snorkel. This adaptation enable the elephant to breathe even when the rest of its body stays in the water for hours at a time. Consequently, elephants have a remarkable ability to avoid drowning!
Swimming is a surprising pastime for many elephants, especially among babies and juveniles! Aside from swimming simply to get to where they need to go or to keep their bodies cool when traversing their scorching hot habitats, these gentle giants actually enjoy swimming for pure enjoyment, too.

This is wonderful seeing such a large group of elephants swimming across such a huge body of water. They seem so free and relaxed in their natural environment. All elephants should be able to live this way.

Thank you so much for your kindness.
Wow, I had never imagined elephants as good swimmers but of course they are. Such wonderful creatures.
Thank you so much for your kindness.
If humans were like these beautiful elephants, the world would be a much better place.
@4everpwbone Agreed. Mind you, if there weren’t human the world would be a better place! Beautiful video.😊

Thank you so much for your kindness.
@@jekimjo If there were no humans, there'd be no "world." Just animals and plants in their environments. NOBODY to know anything about it. SMH.
Cool how the mature adults keep their younger ones in the middle to protect them. So much more intelligent than the world gives them credit for.
You are so kind
I adore big joyous elephant smiles, they make my heart happy.

Fascinating. Is there a good reason why the *written* paragraphs don't say WHERE this is? That would help add to the educational value--that and a little map.

@pavithrikalansooriya731 I'm speaking generally about the elephants in Asia that are use as slaves like begging,logging,and riding for tourists.
@@kauai5839 Can you tell meat eaters about what they eat? (Chicken, Goats, Cattle, Fish, Deer, etc.)
I am not criticizing meat eaters.
I am only asking you!
Only elephants are important to you because they are big and attractive to you. Isn't it?
Any living being which is not beautiful like elephants can be killed. Right?
Your logic is amazing, for sure!
Please don't take this sarcasm as appreciation!
❤ Elephants

If elephants had two upturned horns and the ear drum tube would have opened through the hollow head horns- African elephants could have uses their ears for rowing while swimming

Thanks for your kindness towards the innocent elephants.
Al principio de la filmación los elefantes están consumiendo camalotes
El camalote es una planta acuática original del río Paraná y otros ríos de sud America
Fue introducido en la India y otros países de Asia causando muchos perjuicios por que obstruyen las vías navegables
En sud America no causan problemas por que los sistemas de crecidas de estos ríos los arrastran en forma natural.
En buena hora que los elefantes los consuman para poder controlarlos

They don’t really swim but mainly walk on the bottom! Look at the 2 at 6:15: They’re far too high above the surface to be swimming.

Drones make loud buzzing noises that can start stampedes all to get video for profit. Next time utilize cameras mounted on high altitude airplane.
Sure

Good for practicing English listening. My opinion: the elephants appear too small. Sometimes we can't distinguish them from other animals. Suggestion: turn the background music lower. Or better, use natural sounds. Thank you!
You are so kind
adult elephants need to drink 50 gallons of water a day they must be in heaven with all that water

Are there any crocodiles in those waters like there are in Africa? I’m thinking no.
