- Strange, but amazing.
NOTE: BABY ELEPHANTS CAN'T SWIM until they're several months old!
This elephant herd, with a cute newborn baby elephant, wants to get to the other side of the Shimanquaneni Dam in Kruger National Park, where the gazing is more plentiful.
Will they succeed?
Why did they have to go through the dam?
Why not walk around the dam? its not that far?
Probably the herd wanted to introduce the baby to water asap.
'Although elephants are natural swimmers, they do not know how to swim as babies. South African elephant conservation researchers found that baby elephants (calves) do not learn how to swim until they are several months old. The mother elephants will stay with them when they are near water.
Baby elephants like to play in the water, and this helps them learn how to use their trunks. When elephants are very young, they do not know how to control their trunks. Many times they bend down their heads to drink water instead of using their trunks'.

Yes, older elephants are very good swimmers and they thoroughly enjoy the water, but BABY ELEPHANTS CAN'T SWIM until it’s several months old!

The second area they moved to was more shallow, but I think they all got together so they could block the current and the baby had an easier time getting through. Elephants are really smart.
Smart analysis.
Humans have much to learn from these royal and gentle animals 🐘🐘🐘🐘❤🧡💛💚
If elephants had their own civilization you wouldn't think so. They'd drive cars, dump plastic, had wars and argued about the number of gods and genders. And you'd hate them.
What you mean to learn how to save your own baby when they drown
IMPRESS UR NEIGBORS: ingest ur soup using ur nose.
Agree 💯
@@4rchi._more than that...how not to overprotect your baby and be there when the baby is really in danger..I think except humans all animals on the earth are really good..
What a brave little baby. He or she was like "Ok mum, Ima trust you and my aunties are not going to let me drown. Let's go, mum!"
After a few minutes Mum says nope, this isn't going to work and takes them to shallow water. How incredible! They're so intelligent.
It always amazes me how some animals have these family groups and take care of their own.......better than some humans actually. Lol 🐘💙🐘💙🐘💙🐘
Yes! ❤❤❤
If I have to choose between spending a night with a herd of elephants or with a bunch of people, I would pick the elephants because I would feel safer
Dear little soul bobbing around, it’s just beautiful to see. Thank you for posting.
The mother elephant seemed very confident that her baby can manage and that the other elephants are looking out for the safety of her baby.
Elephants are so majestic and very intelligent beings
Such a teeny, weeny baby elephant with his even tinier little trunk. At times, all that was barely visible was the flapping of the tip of that tiny trunk. These wonderful beings touch my heart deeply.
Wonderful sighting! The baby elephant got thrown into the deep end. But with the help of his sisters and cousins, they ushered him through his first deep crossing. Elephants are amazing, nurturing and caring animals. Thanks for sharing! 🐘 ❤
Isn't that little one darling???

Yes.
How smart. First they went in to test how deep the water was, then decided to go a little down farther where they probably knew would be shallow enough for the baby to cross. What a nice and caring family🥰
Not really .the baby was lost between ther legs.he came out by himself 😁
It is true what you say, everyone participates. There are those who teach and take care of the young, and others take defensive positions to keep crocodiles away and dangers. There are those who watch the area around them. Elephants are intelligent and protective creatures for each other and work collectively with love and mercy among them. And all we saw of the gathering and collective movement was for the beautiful little one.

So precious. Walking so close to the big tusker. Yet no accidents. Such good parenting.
Sano y salvo, mi chiquitín precioso
This is so beautiful to see. They all came together as a family to help the baby elephant cross the deep water to safety. I love this....
I know, I like that too. Elephants are the one baby animals in the African wild that are truly almost totally safe. The way the adult elephants make sure that they continue walking forming a complete circle around the baby, how very protective they are of it, and then there's the fact that no animals mess with the elephants, even the lions don't dare to. The elephants are the real king of the beasts. Too bad that the same can't be said for baby zebras, I've seen a couple of those videos. Adult zebras are a common item on lions' menus. But luckily not so for the mighty elephant
This was is hard to watch. At times I found myself holding my breath.. Looked like a swimming lesson being taught by his mother, aunts and cousins. Loved it! Thank you!!
I was praying too...
It was a lesson, both of trust & survival.
Love the way they stick together
Потрясающе!!!! Преклоняю колено перед умнейшими животными СЛОНАМИ🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
That little baby is well protected. All the adults knew exactly where that little one was at all times.
That's right, they are so protective of the babies, and not just the mothers. And then there's the fact that no animals, even the lions, dare mess with the elephants. They are the one animals in the African wild completely safe from predetors. To any animal that tries to attack a baby elephant, that means death, death to the attempted attacker.
@@alvexok5523 Lions do attack baby elephants even adults elephants at night.
Absolutely 💯 they know how to defend there family 👪 😊
Yes, isn't that just beautiful!
😊
Сила , спокойствие , уверенность ! Учат плавать малыша всей семьей . Экзамен по плаванью слоненок сдал ! Умничка! Не подвёл родных !❤😊
Don,t you wish some human
We're so,caring and protective.
Elephants are just great intelligent
Giant animals.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tight security provided to this Little 🐘 in their family.
Human's should learn how to love and take care in every family members.
So protective of the baby. One kid having fun in the water at the end. So funny and amazing God's creation. Pleasant to watch them.
My goodness, baby survived! I love elephants - they are smart, peaceful and taking care of each other❤️
Fantastic how Elephants knowledge is so developed, that they exactly now how and where the baby elephant is protected from the water!!! Great footage!!
Thanks God, the little baby is safe! I was praying... 🙏❤🐘
The baby elephant is so adorable, sweet & beautiful. 😊💜🌸🐘
Que fofo o bebezinho os elefantes são muito inteligentes porque quando está de bebezinho novo eles anda todos juntos eles não são bobo não se não o bebezinho vira almoço de leões
Quero ver se algum leoa enfrenta esse exército de elefantes 😁😁
Como são protetores de suas crias são Pais zelosos e amorosos animais impressionantes em toda sua magnificência. 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘
Awe inspiring ! The adult elephants were acting not reacting. They worked together as a team without being frantic. Excellent resources of their discipline and strength and purpose to save the baby elephant.
Come proteggono tutti il cucciolo... Emozionante!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
These humungous animals are so smart.they knew that their is a baby with them.they made the right decision.
Roztomilé,super sloni jsou úžasní.👍🤗🤗

Superb video
What an incredible sighting, that baby was so strong. I love the way the herd backs up when keeping an eye on any possible predators. Just magic. Cheers Rosemary Perth Western Australia 72yrs
Moms watching her and her aunties are there i would be scared to death but your aunties are there to help to comfort you sweetie and the herd god bless them all
Baby Ellie are so cute.
What an absolutely incredible sight. Warmed my heart so much. Thank you. Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
wow that was amazing, of course as a human I was nervous for the baby but they new what they were doing the whole time!! just incredible, Thank you !
What a family. 🐘🐘🐘❤❤❤😊😊😊
Looks like mamma dady sister brother cousins grandparents so sweet how they put baby middle to protect .dad massive!.!
There aren't any dads in a herd. Male elephants are forced to leave when they are teenagers. The large one is probably the matriarch. The oldest elephant in the herd.
vERY LOVING AND CARING ANIMALS
Малыш просто чудо! Так смело преодолел эту водную преграду!❤️❤️❤️
So beautiful I was brought to tears ❤️🐘❤️
What a unity to save future generation.
They always stay together making sure no one is left alone specially their young ❤
Ils ont la belle vie ces éléphants là ❣❤ 🐘🐘🐘❤
Actually I was breathless untill I saw the new born on the other side. What a beauty!
Talk about team work - its amazing having watched countless vids. like this where Elephants family's show us the meaning of selfless unconditional love....their genuine concern/protection 4 each other is the sweetest thing 2 see : )
This so melts my heart 🥰

Love family care taker God bless them and the lovey baby
If only humans were so caring with there children.
I grew up in loving family...what happening today, is contrived
Wow that was scary for me, to watch the little Itty bitty baby elephant go into the water, I was sitting at the edge of my seat...
Humans have still a lot to learn ..this is wonderful and amazing to watch ..thank you so much ...🐘🤗❤❤
He got swimming lessons before crossing- amazing!!
The most loving animals alive! Ellies are amazing in so many ways...
CRIATURAS FANTÁSTICAS CON UNA UNION FAMILIAR MARAVILLOSA, MUY INTELIGENTES, CREACIÓN PERFECTA👏👍🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🙋♀️🙅♀️
I could easily watch Elephant videos all day long. They're fascinating animals!
Wow. Such a wonderful creature. Giving nice example to humans being together as a family.
Beautiful . United family.
🥰🥰🥰🙏💐💐💐💐💐
BEAUTIFUL PROTECTIVE FAMILY OVER THE LITTLE CUTE BABY ELEPHANT❤❤😊
They are so marvelous family, thank you.
They keep him safe because he’s the cutest little thing you ever saw….!!!
They bring him where it’s safer to cross
Are you smarter than an elephant 🐘
I don’t think so…💕🐘💕🐘💕🐘💕
Как здорово! Слоны все вместе оберегали,контролировали малютку. Ни один не бросил и
Beautiful baby Elephant ❤ help from your family, deep water makes it cross ❤ You are extremely beautiful, and special ❤️ also Protected From your family ❤
ये सब प्रकृति की लीला है भगवान ही इन लोगो के साथ है तभी तो एक नन्हा हाथी गहरे नदी को पार कर गया गजब का सीन है
Prove that nature is more self-sustaining more so in the wild, we have seen how Casper the white elephant healed, and now this step-by-step guide followed by this herd in caring for the infants. Awesome vid, as always
What a brave little swimmer! How adorable, it is so wonderful how all of the other Mom's stay close to the Mom & her baby. I was more scared that they would step on the baby.
Salute to the camera man for following them.
Love the way they kick the Grass loose, learned something new.
NO!!!! The baby Elephant won't drown because they have buoyancy even from when they're born.... They are Actually Excellent Swimmer's and Survivors.... the Herd will stay close to the baby and help it along using their legs, body and trunks to guide it and protect it.... ❤🐘❤🐘 When these little hour old baby's touch the ground, they're on the move.... ❤🐘❤🐘when they drink water, they put their little faces under the water to drink, with their little trunks up....... ELEPHANTS LOVE WATER, I love watching them when they near water, they almost start running.. I CALL IT THEIR WATER WALK, They bounce along...... The Mom watches over her baby All the time, she will stop to feed, and allow baby to lie down and sleep, she will protect it with her body from the sun and danger... ISN'T NATURE SUPER AWESOME.... 🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘❤🐘🇿🇦❤🇿🇦❤🇿🇦
Love to see all elephants and their family babies ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely adore elephants. A big group of females, all looking out for each other. They show us up big time. They are usually all related.
I wonder if that mother elephant has two other calves with her who are now quite grown up. I noticed two smaller elephants staying with her. Love the family bonds.
Baby so cute
Wow! !! So, cute!!!
Beautiful video.
Just amazing very intelligent Animal.😊😊😊😊😊
Incredible, what a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing
He was swimming, little champion!❤❤
J'ai toujours admiré la délicatesse des grosses pattes des éléphants ; il semble qu'elles soient douées de sensibilité, de toucher tactile très fin. Et en plus, quel merveilleux sens de la famille. Merci pour ces images
Amazing video
Thankyou for sharing.
Just wonderful to watch.
Wow!! WE ARE FAMILY👨👩👦👦👨👩👦👦
the all humanity sould see it how powerful it is to be together !
Oh the wee soul... I panicked a bit she would go under and the adults couldn't see her. She must have been exhausted. Thankfully got across safely. Love elephants 🏴
Female elephant's are so awesome 😊
Very nice😊 what a cooperation between family members for each other.
