A baby elephant was found hours after birth in the Mara. Its mother fights to keep her alive but nature takes its course and the baby elephant's struggle is soon over.
I think there needs to be a protocol after 5 hours some intervention needs to be started to assist a newborn ellie after all you are rangers or such esp with new mothers say have baby ellie formula for hydr a ton some w a terrible a bottle all needed to get it on its feet then return to mother within hours. Who agrees ?
Gale do you notice the comments that are giving praise to the cruel humans who watched this go on? When someone with a kind soul like you or me posts comments like this...no one replies at all. And the worst part is that she said a vet was there. I hope another cruel human comes along and tortures these ppl also.
I agree 100%. This was a tragedy that didn't have to happen. These people had a video camera but no ability to get outside help? Interventions r not uncommon. This baby could have been saved. I don't know why these people who filmed this r getting so much sympathy when they failed to get help & this resulted in the baby's death. In fact, I'm wondering if the mama may have been distracted by them being in the same location & this was the cause for her not properly being able to save her own baby? We will never know. What I do know is that, if they had not been there watching & recording, & the baby died, it would be true nature taking its course. But they were there & did nothing except record a preventable death & then give this dreadful monologue. It's just tragic.
Thank You for sharing this video and what took place later, after went you off the air. Both you and Craig gave the Mother Ellie good support and comfort by being there with her at her time of stress. Mother nature has a way of handling things that we don't comprehend and maybe never will. KUDO'S TO YOU BOTH.
Jamie this would make any human in planet earth that cares about animals very emotional it made me cry like a baby but at least Ellie is in heaven with other little ellies she's not sick or sad she doesent need to fight anymore much love to all of you from Boston
nice thoughts, that's a good way to look at it, no more pain or suffering just happiness in heaven, I was still crying though, my heart has taken a beating the last couple of days with some of the videos on youtube
iamforchange same here I am crying wreck but I figured we should look at it a bit positively even if it's a sad ending maybe god said oh little Ellie ur not ready for the awful world yet maybe god ended it's life to end its struggles it would have had in the future maybe sickness or Injury or being hunted by the predators
Yes you speak sense :) God is in control even if we don't always understand why something happens. We just have to trust in God. Speaking of emotional videos, check the 2nd video in my video list called "life" about a dying chimpanzee. Be warned you will cry, it's an amazing video and will stick with me for a long time.
Please don’t share any videos of helpless animals dying if you don’t find it in your heart to tried to save the baby and don’t assume ! In this video I don’t see the camera person tried to helped the baby ,,they’re more into captioning the scene for fame . Thumbs down !!
Won't even watch...by the sounds of it you all watched and filmed but did help... I have been upset watching these videos with elephant and their offspring and the way the people are intruding into their privacy, you are making the elephant uncomfortable leave them be in peace and now we film but we do not help shame on you
because humans are by nature cruel beings. But most of us tend to bury that side and love instead. This woman said the word vet. A VET was there watching it die. She should be tortured like that baby was.
Because cutting the umbilical's chord is dangerous, the baby elephant could bleed to death. The chord is suppose to come off when the mother finally push's the baby out, it gets remove with the sack
It’s all fame for this people capturing the death of the baby elephant. Cold heartless camera crew gone home and celebrate 🎉 What they had captured! 2 thumbs down
So sad, poor baby 😢, I have question if you was there from morning to afternoon then why didn’t you guys help the baby instead of let the poor baby die ?😢
Who do you think they would’ve called? Ghostbusters? This is the African wilderness. Moreover, what could anyone have done? No person would’ve been able to approach a newborn calf with the mother standing right there unless they had a death wish…
I agree with you, makes me feel like this channel Is bullshit! They could have sedate the mom, there's was a vet there with them 5hrs? They have enough petrol to get help! This is bullshit and psycho people in this show. And I bet yah they'll come up with an excuse its nature, no it isnt, we help women give birth, should we say the same to everyone women that's struggle to give birth "its nature"
Yeah Thailand doesn't care about capturing elephants' lives in the wild and their struggles. People help in every way they can without thinking oh let nature take its course.
nope nope nope... I know it's nature and things like this happen all the time but I adore elephants and baby elephants are the most precious things I can't watch that. Since I stopped after the little one stood up I can complete the story for the poor little thing in my head. It was able to survive and lived a long happy life eating grass and playing in the mud :( RIP little elephant
I know I'm no expert. But this may have been this Elephants first baby. And without the a herd being around with an experienced Matriarch this poor Mom may not have known what to do when it came to that umbilical cord. It's extremely sad. But hopefully, if that Elephant becomes pregnant again and gives birth, she will have the experience of this unfortunate situation to teach her what to do the next time around 🐾
Nikki Fiorentino thank You for Your reply. Given that She had experience of giving birth. I have to agree with You that it was one of those unfortunate times. It's weird, I have always considered myself more a lover of snakes and cats big and small, but when this type of thing happens to an Elephant it seems to hit me more. I just hope Elephants are around for future generations. Not just for our enjoyment but for Planet Earths greater benefit ( RIP Beautiful Young One)🐾
I adore the reptiles and large predators, I do a lot of side work with rattlesnakes. I totally agree with the elephants. They have always amazed me, it broke my heart to see her throw the placenta away once she realized what was going on. I too hope that they are around for much much longer than it seems they may be.
I am an artist and I was just sitting here drawing a newborn African elephant that I have been working on for a month. I can't even look at it now. My heart just broke in half.
Stupid people just want to filmed filmed talked talked and not do anything to help the baby are as bad the poachers.. is this what you called “ Save the elephants “?
the elephants and their bands of blacks that take care of them, of any type of predator, until arriving at the alligator, the Elephant Groups go from 50 members, they lived without care for 200 years ago and the density was maintained now the elephants went up a lot
The Calf looked sick from the very beginning now that I'm looking at the close ups....it didn't look healthy it was thin and frail than most calfs that I have seen after birth🤨😐🤔Look how long the calf was alive snd the mother just stood there eating while the calf was laying in the beaming heat on its side🤨It was the Mothers fault she looked like a teen Mom that was inexperienced just like Humans that are too young to bare and care for kids....The same thing. I hope that the Mother learned from this tragedy🤨
This is the second film I’ve watched on this situation. The first one was when the baby had been born and was just lying there. Within about 45 secs or so I knew something was very wrong...why, because the baby wasn’t moving AT ALL. When they’re new born they at least are moving their legs a little and flapping their ears. This baby wasn’t doing anything. Even when she finally stood up, she still didn’t flap her ears. So very unusual. I knew this baby was not ok and wasn’t going to survive. I knew this only because I’ve watched (on uTube) many baby elephants being born and they are all pretty consistent with their movements after birth. This poor baby was so far removed from what a healthy baby elephant would normal do that it was crystal clear obvious to me that something major was wrong. It was a long time after that I came on this vid explaining that the baby did indeed die....
Said died prob from dehydration but I dont understand she hurried the placenta which was connected to the umbilical cord so thats why it couldn't move?
Don't you feel a little absurd trying to justify the position of "NOT [allowing] nature to take his[sic] course"; not because of the"his", which I would guess is purposeful, but because you are making the argument that you know better than the governing forces of the world around us. If interference is a factor in an animals extinction, why do you think further interference is then a solution? This baby was weak; saving it and others like it, may ill-prepare the group, in subsequent generations, to survive a particularly harsh drought.
what else did you do apart from filming and narrating the sad event? did you ever thought of shooing the mother away and free the baby? you never sai so in your so called "heart touching" narration. SAD.
Instead of sitting and wacthing it die . They should of step in to help give it some coconut milk until. It was stong enough to go back to its mother ... These idoits just watched it suffere and die ... Bunch asses .... Excuse my expression but it so sad to have seen it die a slow death in the hot sun ....
They don't intervene because it's better for everyone in the long run to just let nature take its course. Humans had nothing to do with the unfortunate baby elephant's situation and so humans should not intervene. Besides it's not worth getting a person killed when the right thing to do was do nothing. Maybe the baby elephant was defective or not well. The way nature deals with animals like that is to let them die and not reproduce. Nature is not "cruel" because cruelty is a human construct--attributing human traits and emotions to animals is anthropomorphism.
You could have gone and help, but you choice not too, I hope you lose business soon enough! You could have sedate the mom, dont tell me bullshit, its 2020 we have enough medical to help the baby.
I’m going to try to be nice about this but WTH didn’t you try to intervene and help the baby and WTH would you post such a heart breaking video like this???
I dont understand why you didnt help? Are you not there to help? Are you just there to show us "this is nature"? You are aware that we need all the elephants right ? Theres too many elephants dying already, and if you let every elephants die, the we wont have any elephants in this world anymore.
I think there needs to be a protocol after 5 hours some intervention needs to be started to assist a newborn ellie after all you are rangers or such esp with new mothers say have baby ellie formula for hydr a ton some w a terrible a bottle all needed to get it on its feet then return to mother within hours.

Just watching the video made me cry. I can,t imagine being there to witness it live. Thank you Jamie! You are the best. ❤️
I really love elephants so much, they are so beautiful, strong, loyal, intelligent, protective & loving. 😊💜🌸🐘
Gosh baby’s eyes were still open. So, was it yanking the placenta that killed the baby or was it more of a starvation/dehydration sort of things.
This is so sad. My heart is breaking.
@CANALI Rodriguez yepp
I am crying now. So sad because I love animals so much thanks for sharing what time the little one had here on this planet.
Thank You for sharing this video and what took place later, after went you off the air.

the world isn't all peaches n cream, sunshine.
I love animals but I love Elephant so much 🐘😢💔🙏
Thank you for a clearer update // GOD BLESS ALL and please continue === and save the babies when you can..
That’s so sad poor mum RIP 🐘🤧 Jamie it must be very sad to witness the ordeal I felt for you too.😪
22 months of work wasted like that.. ohh poor thing.. and a sad mom 😥
My heart is groundbreaking
This video broke my heart
Please don’t share any videos of helpless animals dying if you don’t find it in your heart to tried to save the baby and don’t assume !
In this video I don’t see the camera person tried to helped the baby ,,they’re more into captioning the scene for fame .
Thumbs down !!
They shouldve ate the mother and the baby. Set up a meat stand and sell elephant meat for 10$ a pound!!!
Won't even watch...by the sounds of it you all watched and filmed but did help... I have been upset watching these videos with elephant and their offspring and the way the people are intruding into their privacy, you are making the elephant uncomfortable leave them be in peace and now we film but we do not help shame on you
This was so heart breaking,poor mom.Where were the other moms and the matriarch?
It was the Mothers fault!🤨
I couldn't help but cry feeling the mother's loss... much luv and thank you for your wonderful work. ❤ nature is the greatest power on earth 🌎
Pfffff idiot
The mother did not protect the baby from the sun.
if y'all was there all that time and saw the problem, why didn't someone run over a cut the Placentia, for that baby elephant????
because humans are by nature cruel beings. But most of us tend to bury that side and love instead. This woman said the word vet. A VET was there watching it die. She should be tortured like that baby was.
B Parrish and risk being killed by an elephant?! No thanks, you do it tough guy
Because cutting the umbilical's chord is dangerous, the baby elephant could bleed to death. The chord is suppose to come off when the mother finally push's the baby out, it gets remove with the sack
What a terrible experience for you both. Lots of love.
Hugs to you Jamie and Craig. I can't imagine you having to endure watching this poor little one. RIP baby ellie.
Haha that was satisfying
poor bby ellie! :'(
While y all were filming,y you did not help baby!!!???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
It’s all fame for this people capturing the death of the baby elephant. Cold heartless camera crew gone home and celebrate 🎉 What they had captured!
2 thumbs down
CANALI Rodriguez you sounds like psycho path .. must be adrenaline for you ? 2 thumbs down 👎!!
You can't
@tanyae1815 it's actually not cold hearted. You can't step in. It's the circle of life
Thai people intervene and help wild elephants all the time...
So sad, a very odd thing to happen, I was hopeful the other day when you first showed it.
So sad, poor baby 😢, I have question if you was there from morning to afternoon then why didn’t you guys help the baby instead of let the poor baby die ?😢
had other cows been there, would the baby had a better chance at survival?
My God, why didn't they call someone who could have come to their location & helped to save the baby?
Who do you think they would’ve called? Ghostbusters? This is the African wilderness. Moreover, what could anyone have done? No person would’ve been able to approach a newborn calf with the mother standing right there unless they had a death wish…
From 10am to 3pm, then you cried?!
What kind of drama queen are you?!
There can be so many things you could have done to save the baby?!!!!
I agree with you, makes me feel like this channel Is bullshit! They could have sedate the mom, there's was a vet there with them 5hrs? They have enough petrol to get help! This is bullshit and psycho people in this show.

Fiona P she is an older cow and has had babies before. It's just one of those unfortunate cases. So sad.

I wish I would not have watched this 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Me gustaria que estubiera narrado en español
I am an artist and I was just sitting here drawing a newborn African elephant that I have been working on for a month. I can't even look at it now. My heart just broke in half.
So sad and frustrating knowing what needs doing but unable to intervene, it brought tears to my eyes.But that is Africa.
Stupid people just want to filmed filmed talked talked and not do anything to help the baby are as bad the poachers.. is this what you called “ Save the elephants “?
Jamie and Craig, so very sad for you. Thank you for all your efforts.
All these comments about “why didn’t you help?”. Some people are truly clueless.
Yes， all of us have full clue!!!!
But y this cute lil baby died??
Was it sick!!??🐘🐘🐘🐘😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Y did u all not save the baby .it was ur duty.u filmed a baby dying but did not save it
the elephants and their bands of blacks that take care of them, of any type of predator, until arriving at the alligator, the Elephant Groups go from 50 members, they lived without care for 200 years ago and the density was maintained now the elephants went up a lot
Very sad indeed.
What a poignant story :( Heartbreaking, but still is lovely to be shared...
I wonder how much you pay for a safari tour
The Calf looked sick from the very beginning now that I'm looking at the close ups....it didn't look healthy it was thin and frail than most calfs that I have seen after birth🤨😐🤔Look how long the calf was alive snd the mother just stood there eating while the calf was laying in the beaming heat on its side🤨It was the Mothers fault she looked like a teen Mom that was inexperienced just like Humans that are too young to bare and care for kids....The same thing. I hope that the Mother learned from this tragedy🤨
Ha😂😂😂
Why didn't they throw some water on the baby??
Satisfying video! Good job, mom!
So very sad
that breaks my heart
#safarilive : Life is precious and fleeting.
This is the second film I’ve watched on this situation. The first one was when the baby had been born and was just lying there.

Was she a new Mom
The syrupy music does not help. And a beautiful hyena will surely eat well!
Happy ending!
lol - thank you
Why didn’t you do something???
Instead of shooting,u people shud hv,helped in removing,it from the entangle..cz of u ppl,such a precious life is gone😭😭😭😭
You can’t just walk up to a newborn elephant calf with the mother standing next to it. 🙄
Said died prob from dehydration but I dont understand she hurried the placenta which was connected to the umbilical cord so thats why it couldn't move?
@@hit8000 Yeah you can see the baby trying to get to her mother and you can see her umbilical stretching out as far as she can go.
Laws has to change, not to allow to nature takes his course when it come to elephants or animal in the list of extinction
Don't you feel a little absurd trying to justify the position of "NOT [allowing] nature to take his[sic] course"; not because of the"his", which I would guess is purposeful, but because you are making the argument that you know better than the governing forces of the world around us.

so so sad =(
That is so sad😭😭😭
Скорее всего слонёнок родился недоношенным и больным, он очень маленький
JAMIE I LOVE YOUUUUU LOL
That was just. Well I don’t know
I have watched plenty of videos where Humans intervened to save animals lives! Why didnt you do something to save that calf🤨
💔😭😢🐘
what else did you do apart from filming and narrating the sad event? did you ever thought of shooing the mother away and free the baby? you never sai so in your so called "heart touching" narration. SAD.
RIGHT ON THE DIME. All these people care about are views and money🤨They do not care for the animals as a whole and it is disgraceful.....
Instead of sitting and wacthing it die . They should of step in to help give it some coconut milk until. It was stong enough to go back to its mother ... These idoits just watched it suffere and die ... Bunch asses .... Excuse my expression but it so sad to have seen it die a slow death in the hot sun ....
She said she is not a Vet she was on Safari

Svp au lieu de vous filmer laisser npn regarder 😢
I can’t watch, I’m just listening to audio, but can’t watch
Such a sad event. :(
Love yo face Jamie.
You could have gone and help, but you choice not too, I hope you lose business soon enough! You could have sedate the mom, dont tell me bullshit, its 2020 we have enough medical to help the baby.
so sad
Lol elephants are so stupid
Well done, that was a great video about an emotional subject. Deft touch.
Harrowing sight
😥
😭
Very sad. Thanks for sharing, Jamie, and I hope you are feeling better.
I’m going to try to be nice about this but WTH didn’t you try to intervene and help the baby and WTH would you post such a heart breaking video like this???
Cold-hearted people... 😥🐘
the number of baby elephants, add the number of elephants babies, the numbers add exponentially
:'(
I dont understand why you didnt help? Are you not there to help? Are you just there to show us "this is nature"? You are aware that we need all the elephants right ? Theres too many elephants dying already, and if you let every elephants die, the we wont have any elephants in this world anymore.
So very sad
