It's always heartbreaking to hear about an animal being abandoned, particularly a baby elephant. Elephants are social animals, and the bond between a mother and her calf is incredibly strong. It's difficult to know the reasons behind the abandonment, but it's possible that the mother was unable to care for the calf due to illness or injury. In cases like these, it's important for humans to step in and provide the necessary care and attention to ensure the survival of the young animal.
Oh yeah…NOW you want humans to interfere with nature. 🙄
She is talking about the state of Bengal in India. But at 1:06 that is somewhere in Sri Lanka, as you can see from where that bus is headed
The sight of a baby elephant abandoned by its mother can be a heart-wrenching experience. Elephants are known for their strong familial bonds, and a mother's rejection of her offspring is rare and unusual. While the reasons for this behavior can vary, it's important to remember that nature can be unpredictable and sometimes harsh. Fortunately, there are many organizations and individuals dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating orphaned elephants, providing them with the care and support they need to thrive.
There are humans who abandon their kids, we think that elephants have human-like emotions in regards to mourning and things like that, it stands to reason they probably also have human-like reactions to other sides of their lives, including rejecting babies ^^
My first thought is..." Could it have been given to the wrong herd?
I heard elephants can sense sickness
I don't know what disease the baby elephant has, but the mother abandoned him
True but Mothers know if the babys not going to survive, She probably waas not producing enough milk and was stressed out.
@@3winmundoanimal Nothing to do with potential sickness, there are Mothers who look after disabled Elephant offspring. Most likely the mother is stressed and as a result not producing enough milk.
The mother rejected the calf perhaps knowing that it has little chance of survival due to some illness or defect that she knows and could detect. If the calf is healthy it will be accepted and nurtured. If not, it will be abandoned. Its just animal instinct. There is no right or wrong. That is only applicable to us humans.
Pas tous!
Not this time, it was explained these Elephant had been in confrontation with humans who scared them off into the woods. A stressed mother wont produce enough milk and there for the baby probably got weak purely because of that.
Kids should never be abandoned 😢
it's so pitiful that they don't know anything about the outside world
@@3winmundoanimal who is this "they"?
It probably was sick. They can sense stuff we can't. 😅
Or they tracked the wrong herd. They probably seen a herd and assumed it was hers and tried to force the baby into it. Just because the baby walked up to the herd doesn't mean it was her family, she's young and didn't know any better and will suckle from anyone and just wanted to be loved.
Those are most likely the main reasons for rejection, sickness or it's not her herd.
When I read about an abandoned calf, I always wonder--if through INSTINCTS that we lack--the mother somehow knows that the infant is in poor health.
The abandonment is completely contrary to everything WE THINK WE KNOW about elephant society and mother/calf interaction. It just doesn't make any sense. We'll never really know.

There is an elephant Called "Arikomaban" abandoned by Kerala government 😭😭😭 Now he has no his own forest area, no mother, no wife, no children and no friends 😭😭 Can u please film about him...? Can u please help us to save him..?? 😭 I know u can't. Even I don't know what to do to save him from corrupted govt 😭
Bull elephants r not family oriented, is hey come they leave,only females and calves stick to the here not full grown mqles
@@spsps3442 but he has.. and he has strong connection to them. Every year he comes a specific place where he lost his mother (said by nearby people)
@@devkutti5932 Well, this is a point, elephant comes back to mourn/grieve, it is documented so there may be some truth in this.
Dark side of nature is unfortunately humanity
@@weebotaku9200 it's all about illegal resorts there. Nothing about humanity. They give false allegations to him. No evidence to prove their allegations against him
Thanks BBC earth. 👍
I've seen other films about this.
Mammals can detect problems with newborns and will reject them, even primates. Our own early ancestors had to abandon weak newborns.
Where’s the footage of this alleged rejection????
THE MOTHER KNEW THE OUTCOME AHEAD...💔❤🔥🙏
Damn. You would think that the low fecundity of elephants would lead them to go all-in to protect the young. But apparently, there is a point of stress and conflict at which they won’t.
There can be many reasons why a mother elephant might abandon her calf, such as illness, injury, or environmental stressors. In some cases, orphaned elephants can be rescued and rehabilitated by experienced wildlife organizations and reintegrated into wild herds.
Are you sure you found the right herd?
Or maybe it really wasn’t her herd?
😢
May be that is not the herd of the baby elephant.
Imagine the deep generational traumas that us humans have imprinted on these elephants just trying to survive. Imagine. That is truly the heartbreaking realization. No understanding of why just fear. 😢
What do you propose those humans do to survive with their livelihood, feeding their babies too? Easy for you to preach when you aren’t a paddy farmer in North Bengal
You can't expect every elephant to have such predictable behavior and act the same. Unless you can read it's mind there's no learning why she did what she did. Knowing why one elephant did something doesn't mean that's exactly why another elephant did the same thing
I remember - and it wasn't that long ago - when nature films were about the animals. Now they are more about those behind the camera. I really don't care about the life of the film maker. Does anyone else remember Nature, on PBS, hosted by George Page?
So sad. My heart is breaking. That poor baby. Did they bring the baby to a rescue and rehabilitation center?
I’m sure they did take the elephant to a rescue center
I think school will bring it to . and keep it warm
No they have to let nature run its course, and just let the baby be. Just think about that baby elephants carcass will be food for a lion and her cute lion cubs! Cute lion cubs have to eat too!
they didnt put back on truck to just abandon idiot
Poor baby, such a sweet little one. I hope he finds love somewhere?.
Sometimes an animal in the wild will abandon their young, if they have some kind of illness.
This calf probably wouldn't survive any how, because of its size.
Was it perhaps a premie?
Was it perhaps blind?
Was it deaf?
Did it have intestinal problems where it would die anyhow, because it couldn't keep food in its system?
Did it have digestive problems?
In the wild, a mother would know instinctively, that her baby wouldn't survive! So they usually abandon their young.
very sad. They are likely to evolve to not take stress from the presence of people as a reason to abandon the young. Elephants do however have a very slow generation rate so hopefully they can do it quick enough
Sehr schön 🤠
Dooars is love❤❤
how did the rangers know that it was the right herd?
Sad 😔 but some times mother animals reject them because cub baby is not fit and fittest survive in the animals kingdom
:((
Wrong heard
She did one documentary in sundarbans on tiger; that is a also a good watch. Hoping to see good work from he in near future
Sigh.
Guess they are bad mother in all races of people and animals 😢
You're right, that's my mother 😕.She don't care for her children.When I came back from school often there were no food at home and I hungry for day long.She didn't wanna cook even she was at home all day long.
When I grew up I never have good relation with her.
Herd not huud😂
I hate to say it, but if they took this abandoned calf from the forest it may have interrupted the circle of life. . I can’t help but wonder if by doing so, they deprived one of the carnivores in the area access to an easy meal, one that may have provided food for offspring, and potentially set off a chain of events that led to an even greater loss of life than one elephant calf. Devastating when you think about it. 😢
Well humans being humans is also a part of this circle of life.
We already affect that circle of life though, poachers kill an elephant a day of more so saving the occasional baby elephant that’s a threatened species only makes up for the constant damage we do. I mean sure a more endangered tiger could have eaten the somewhat endangered elephant but the odds of that happening seem negligible.
I was a amateur wildlife videographer for a while and don’t believe in interfering with natural selection but in India and Africa where wildlife has been hunted to near extinction I don’t have a moral dilemma helping some of the more endangered or vulnerable species.
Thank you 💕
Hello?
This year, the weather in Korea/Seoul is truly a mess.
Early mornings and dawn feel like the depths of winter, while late mornings and afternoons feel like the peak of summer.
Today is Tuesday.
I hope the rest of the week brings good health and good things to you.
I always support your wonderful/beautiful activities.
Thank you. ^^
Though we, as humans, are somewhat removed from nature, it is a relatively recent state of affairs & a deep connection to & with nature exists, is still present, within our being....it only takes a short time in nature to awaken that connection.
😥🐘😥😥 very sad
way too much talking.
Cant u cut a long story short
Did they actually use capital "I"s instead of pipes? 😅
less video but over talking...irritating
What happened to the baby?? 😭
In nature the parents of young creatures need to survive over the babies because unlike humans most animals wont raise other young if its not their own. Most cases parent dies baby dies too or baby dies parent have other chances to raise next generations (Spread the genes, save the species kinda thing).
How do we tell if the ellie was really its mama? 🤔
Last time I checked I clicked a video about Elephants. Why are y’all telling me about the camerawoman’s life story?
You said it sister 👏
Exactly. I hate these new videos where it's mainly a person talking. Show us the nature, please. I didn't watch this. I have seen the full 1 hour doc.
It was a complete waste of time
Absolutely agree with you
Are you kidding me? The narrator is telling the entire story. Where, what's going on, the people's mood, their reason for charging towards these elephants, what they see, how they view these elephants.
I think this is cuz the elephant mother maybe couldnt provide enough milk for the young.
We love nature like you.
Thanks BBC earth.
🐘 ❤ 🥺
♡♡♡♡♡
Some kids just suck.
🤡
Perhaps the mother knew that the baby elephant has a higher chance of survival being taken care by humans and did the tough decision to push her away
How could en elephant possibly know a thing like that?
This was boring. I came for the elephant story, not yours
Too much narrator not enough nature., and elephants. The elephants much more attractive.
She talks way too much
Ye Tamil Nadu k elephants Hain, ya Kerala k ?
😍🥰😍🥰👌👌
👍
What happened to the baby?
Is this woman that naïve? Mammals reject their offspring all the time, for reasons both known and unknown. And again, because they are matriarchal, she assumes they are constantly, gentle, kind and loving. Completely mistaken. And then, of course, like all animal lovers, she finds a way to blame humans. I am not heartless, and I have a great respect for the animal world, but to believe that somehow they are superior to us is ridiculous.
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Long story short.. some villagers attacked a herd of elephants. Animals. The villagers, not the elephants.
What? What is this comment supposed to mean?
Ignoring or even killing Dalits Muslims Kashmiris. Many Indians are very good in rejecting
This is why people need to stop assigning human traits to these animals. It's impossible to know what an animal is thinking or feeling, no matter how much their actions seem similar to a human.
I wish we learn from animals but animals should not learn from us though this is a controversial statement it is the truth
Terrible clip
That calf was probably was a pincheliberal
What trash
Nature is involved around nature let's remember negative perceptions or positive two things can work at the same time is not the messenger that's important but the message. The one and only invisible twisting and turning force [aka God] around us is involved in all things. My Question what was the outcome? the ending? 💔💫🙏 Naturally, the combined forces used by the invisible God worked together, Human beings and nature just need balance. GOD IS INVOLVED IN ALL.❤🔥
#boycottbrown
Get a better narrator.
i wanted to see elephants and not a pig...
What shocked u,this is nature,u dont know the elephants are more socially. Humans also left their parents like u
