      thats why these elephants are called orphans!!! being sad won't bring their parents back to life. What you can do to contribute is to bring donations to this sanctuary so that these few amazing people can continue doing their noble works

    • @shamaliwije4872
      @shamaliwije4872 4 роки тому +2

      They have a policy of keeping distance to discourage them becoming attached and reliant on humans, since they’re to be released back to the wild. Little Namal is the exception, since he’s too fragile to be ever released.

    I’m assuming they’re being fed milk obtained from cattle? I can’t imagine how one would milk an elephant lol

    • @samanthav8728
      @samanthav8728 5 років тому +1

      I thought the same thing too when I first fell in love with them, lol! Actually they cannot tolerate cows milk. Has too much fat in it. Eles natural diet consists of no fat.
      If you've the chance (and haven't already, lol) Go to DSWT David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust page! Dame Daphne Sheldrick developed a specific milk that most places adopted. Coconut milk and infant formula is what most consists of. Once you go visit it, warning because OMG, they are the absolute top of true care of orphans!
      (No malice in my statement whatsoever next) I am not a big fan of this place because ele's need to suckle and the tube down their throats seems cold. I've also seen that there is no proof that withholding affection from them hinders their success upon return to the wild.

    • @samanthav8728
      @samanthav8728 4 роки тому

      @nuren I agree that wild elephants are best left wild.

    • @samanthav8728
      @samanthav8728 4 роки тому +1

      @nuren no, that is NOT what DSWT does. DSWT takes in and replaces the herd. They stay by them as the mother would. They guide and protect as well as encourage them to maintain healthy family bonds. They are moved to another place where they slowly introduce them to Wild Eles and Ex-Orphans. The Ex orphans come and know when new ones arrive. They decide when it's the right time to go back into the wild. If they come back to visit, great. If they do not, that is also great. Many go off, mate and bring their babies back. The caregivers do not touch them as they did when the orphans were around.

    • @samanthav8728
      @samanthav8728 4 роки тому

      @nuren they would die if not taken in.

  • @josephastier7421
    @josephastier7421 3 роки тому

    They are so well mannered because they are in a herd that is well mannered. The new elephants quickly learn their social skills from the existing members, and in turn pass them on. In the wild, elephants that don't behave like the rest of the herd quickly find themselves alone, so they instinctively toe the line.

    • @alvexok5523
      @alvexok5523 2 роки тому

      Yeah, that makes sense, the good manners contagious, one elephant sees the rest acting a certain way so he does the same to fit in. We're sort of the same in that way.
      I do have another question, I noticed in several shots while the elephants were drinking the milk, their eyes are pointed out to the side and sorta downward a bit. They weren't looking at the milk they were drinking or the carers feeding it to them. What were they looking at? Almost every elephant does the same thing. I've also seen pigs do that too.
      I do have one guess on that, that they aren't really looking at anything, they're just staring into the middle distance while they're turning more to focusing on their sense of smell, and taste. I have read that elephants do have very strong sense of smell. I'm guessing that their smell is their eyes and ears at certain moments including when they're drinking milk

    • @josephastier7421
      @josephastier7421 2 роки тому

      @@alvexok5523 I think you're right. Elephants have poor eyesight and are very walleyed. Their eyes point down naturally, I don't know why. Maybe because most of what is important to an elephant is on the ground.
      They have the most acute sense of smell in the animal kingdom, and rely on that instead of their eyes for most of the information they get from the world.
