    It always amazes me to see how such enormous animals like elephants are able to be so gentle... They are able to keep from stepping on their tiny babies...

    This is a site of the David Sheldrick Wilderness Trust in Tsavo, Kenya. These are orphaned elephants who were slowly released back into the wild. Wendy the matriarch was herself an orphan. "Benjamin" is one of the head keepers there and an expert as well as surrogate parent to many of these elephants, which is why it was appropriate for him to eventually help out. This clip should have identified this place because they need donations and public support.

      I honestly wish this documentary had been about Benjamin and his elephants and not just the random guy who likes elephants that came for the ride. We could have learned about DSWT, how much effort people like Benjamin put in and probably learned more intimately about the elephants as he knows all of them by name.

      Not this herd - these elephants are mainly Ex orphans raised from infancy by Benjamin and other keepers at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi and then here at Ithumba. They are released into the wild when they feel ready to go and often come back like Wendy and Galana and introduce the keepers to their wild born babies. There may also be some wild elephants who have joined their herd.

    Yes, it's so much of an improvement to include footage of the cameraman turning towards the camera and narrating what we can see for ourselves if they just shot the footage of the elephants. So much better than just watching the elephants w/one narrator. IN fact next time just leave the elephants out of it altogether and just have the narrator narrate what the cameraman would see if there were elephants and have the cameraman turn around and talk to us about that.

    Prima di tutto: COMPLIMENTI agli operatori, che sono molto bravi e ti coinvolgono emotivamente nelle varie situazioni riprese, come il momento del parto del piccoletto e la festa del gruppo di elefanti in un altro video. In questo, la caduta del baby, come tutti gli elefantini e i tentativi per risalire, ma ripreso da vicino, sembrava molto buffo, respirava a fatica e, praticamente aveva cambiato colore. Per questi salvataggi, ho notato che gli elefanti vanno in crisi, mentre spostandosi di poco, potrebbero risolvere benissimo il problema.Bravi voi !!! Io amo gli ELEFANTI e mi batto che siano ANIMALI LIBERI e trattati con DIGNITA'!!!
