It's bedtime at the nursery. The keepers get ready for bed with the baby elephants - even providing them with blankets and feeding them through the night.

I love this woman who cries every time she sees one of her little orphans move on.
ha ha ha so sweet. the baby elephant just let himself fall on the mat.
*THERE MUST BE A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO HELP ANIMALS IN NEED. GOD BLESS YOU !!!*
I cannot forget David & Daphne Sheldrick; bless their hearts; they save ecosystem in Africa & the world
These men are gods own angels. Looking after this poor little traumatised babies till theyre well. They give all their time and effort. Thank you all
These people are angels with hearts of gold
I have been following Sheldrick Orphanage for sometime and these elephants and keepers have become sort of my family. Love them all
The founder, Daphne is so selfless. What a wonderful person.
i love how the baby elephant just flops onto the mattress when the keeper puts in on the floor. :-)
Kimberly Jauregui Yes. So adorable and trust the keeper 😊
I was thinking the same so cool and crute
Such noble and adorable creatures.
What a lovely woman!
I love you baby...thank you keeper
baby elephants are so cute.
Love little cute babyelephant and these kind keepers❤
Watching this is cool because Wendy has now had her own wild born baby.
Separations are bittersweet but the greatest reward is when the ex-orphans return with their wild born calves and even entire herds just to say hello!
Naserian and Wendi. Both have had wildborn calves since. Wendi has had three.
This is so old....Wendy has had 2 wild-born calves since this was done, maybe even 3!
hope that one day baby elephant come back to keeper.
@nuren Sheer ignorance and idiocy, spewing more shite when you can’t even take 30 minutes to verify your idiocy! Moronic blabber!!

Both Wendi and naserian are mothers now and are common figures at ithumba.
merci pour nos petits elephants
I really want to be that keeper who gets to sleep next to the little elephant who flopped onto its mattress. I would lie with my arm around it all night so he/she wouldn't feel alone...
11 years later I'm reading your comment ..I guess this baby is long gone in the wild
I’m reading this is Mai 2022 and wondering whether that elephant is alive and thriving in the wild.
@@soniadowney7427 love its
Beautiful baby Elephants charging 🐘 are
@pizzapingvin They lose 50% of all the orphans they ever receive, so I'd say it's right to pamper them. Baby eles are especially delicate and not "tough" like other wild animals. Because they're more intelligent, they have no instincts of survival, just as a human baby wouldn't survive on its own.
And the babies receive the same amount of milk they would from their mothers ordinarily. Milk is easily their most important food for the first 3 years. Without it they are guaranteed to die.
I wonder if Edwin gets video footage of some of the elephants when they venture back into the Reintigration units. I hope so since he doesn't get to venture all that often into the other areas.
Voi and tsavo often make video of the wild orphans returning to show off the new babies.
who could dislike this video!?!?!?
Scotty R Evil people did
People who didn’t get the job,and jealous put thumbs down,out numbered by thumbs up
யானைகளைப் பாதுகாப்போம்.நன்றிகள் பல ❤❤❤❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wendy went on to have wild babies of her own and Daphne is in paradise too seeing her reward. God keep the men who were and are great keepers of all we 💕 love and forever cherish in God’s Garden
If anybody would go to paradise, the ultimate reward for the good you do for the world, any living being is grand dame Daphne Sheldrick. I am honored to know about her deeds and great kind heart. Her daughter who took over after her mother, deserves everything also. She has her mothers soul. Thank you from this world for what you are achiving.
I like to think that Daphne is still there in spirit, keeping an eye on all the babies and everything that goes on.
I LOVE THIS!!!
Cutest thing ever! 00:40
Hi, Wendy^^
Wiva' mom~~
This is different from a Zoo, because they are rescuing orphaned Elephants that are usually very young. They can get depressed easily because Elephants are very, very social animals. These orphans need extra care because of this.
How can they tell whether a baby orphan elephant needs to be rescued?
@nuren And that's exactly who they socialize with! Other Elephants. Then they are reintroduced into the wild.
Would you rather these Orphans simply be left to die?
@nuren If you had a "pea of knowledge" on how to form a paragraph, maybe I'd read your entire diatribe which is without any source(s).
Please, show me your source on "50% of the orphaned Elephants die?" Please list your source for that comment?
Id also like to explain to me how to rehab a dying Elephant without humans "interfering?"
@nuren I don't care what your native language is, you should know how to form a paragraph. . .
And I asked you for sources to your claims. I asked for proof, and you didn't give me any. . .
I'll ask you one last time, give me a source for your claim that The Sheldrick Foundation has "lost 100's of Elephants to death?"
Show me your sources/proof, or I'm simply going to call you out was a liar.
@nuren I'll have to look for myself. I haven't researched the topic.
However, let me get this straight, you're blaming the Foundation for dying Elephants who were brought in too sick to be saved?
Elephants that would have certainly died on their own, were brought in and given treatment, and this is the Orphanages fault they died?
Awww
@pizzapingvin For example the keepers sleep with them at night b/c babies need emotional reassurance. Blankets to protect against the cold. It's not that "nutty" when you realize we humans do this with our babies too. Eles are almost as smart and certainly as emotional as us, so it's no different with them.
Anyway if they were being overfed you would see some very fat elephants, but they look normal to me. They constantly consult with vets, so it's not like they don't know what they're doing.
Elephants have got smaller,from their original size,look at history,because we humans are taking the world over,and vegetation is getting less for the elephants,they are not over feeding them,sounds like he didn’t get the job
Even though the purpose of the blanket is for warmth since they don’t have their mothers or the herds, do the babies ever get used to the blanket?
@pizzapingvin i think u SHOULD volenteer before you decide if what they r doing is best for them. and i'm sure any zoo or wildlife centre would love to have u donate your time
0:26 keeper laughing
Almost Right.
Some people on earth are just plain selflish
Doesn't hay smell good
you can foster a baby for 50$ /year!!!!
@linksysnet
BOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIING
I cannot imagine they get half as much milk from the mother as they do here. And I dont see why they bother feeding them at night. I mean come on. As if they couldnt survive for 8 hours without milk. Seems like going a bit nutty. They are not made of porcelain. Dont get me wrong, I love watching them and would love to volonteer for a week and interact with them but I feel like they are overdoing it a bit.
