I am fortunate to have many protective family members. They come to my rescue whether I have called them or not. It is humbling for me since I, stubbornly, don't like to ask for or accept assistance. They mean well, so I try to show appreciation, though I do feel annoyed.
That's not really true in general. If an elephant baby has lost his mother, it will almost not be accepted by another mother. I suspect these females are afraid to have not enough milk for their own baby. There are examples where a whole herd leaves a single baby behind. Of course most babies die then. Nature can be very, very hard. The reality is often different than many shown scenes that remind us more of a Walt Disney harmony...
@@trippiezi4998 Well, there are always exceptions in both the four-legged and two-legged worlds. Not all animals are great parents as there are not all humans who are great parents. Nature is cruel.
They're balanced so well that given their immense size, their weight is distributed like a ship. 🐘The other animal I am so fascinated with is the rhinoceros. It's head is so out of proportion but carried like a loaf of bread lol.❤🐘🌟 At least, that's how I see it all😊
tiny vr : I do too. The rhinos hides look like suits of armor and it appears that they might be awkward.... but not so, is it? Did you see the vids of the newborn in the zoo? Beautiful documentary. UA-cam
@@yasminenazarine1629 Are you trying to say they sell parts or eat parts? Either way.. that's HORRIFIC!!! This hotel is proof that they can make more money caring for and nurturing them for tourists to see! Yes the get immediate money for parts. But they will make far more in tourism over a longer period of time! So it's more reliable money. And they are helping them and a huge part of the African ecology of their area.
I agree! I saw a video last year of a bunch of scum in India/Southeast Asia maybe. They found a baby Elephant eating some crop they planted. So they threw lit tar on the baby and mother,,! They cheered and chased them while the mother tried to put her baby out!! It is permanently etched into my heart and brain! I will never forget that image. The year before I saw a bunch of Indians who poured gasoline on a baby and we're placing vets if the mom could put it out! They are here on YT. I don't recommend watching them. They made me so angry! The Indian people and some of Southeastern Asia have abused and treated these animals so harshly in order to "train them"! This is why my kids never went to a single Circus show. They love Cirque du Solie! And I'm so glad! They petitioned their school, when they were younger, to stop going.
Did everyone get that? The mother and aunt rush to keep the baby from going too far into the water and firmly push away a youngster who perhaps was more into playing with the little one. What amazing animals.
@deaf American Actually, you are quite mistaken about donkeys. They are not lazy and highly intelligent. Actually, they perceive a dangerous situation better than horses. If a donkey doesn't want to go in a certain direction, for instance, there is a reason. Stop spreading misinformation.
For whatever reason the baby elephant in the upper left side of the screen seeing that adorable little elephant scratching his leg with his other leg is one of the cutest things EVER! I could watch elephants all day long every single day!
Most magnificent animals. Intelligent, sensitive, caring, funny and we must do everything we can to keep this wonderful animal from the poachers who have heartless Souls
Hi Jay, it is not just poachers, tribal people shoot elephants in their crops. Elephants cover a lot of ground when foraging. Poaching is probably worse in Africa while problems associated with people encroaching on elephant land is more found in Thailand. I see elephants every time I ride my motorcycle outside of town. BTW: Asian female elephants rarely have tusks. They have an intelligence level comparable to Silverback gorillas.
The tusks on these beautiful animals give them a aristocratic look. Beside their size the tusks give the males an additional weapon yet unfortunately now it gives people a reason to kill them. To see this magnificent beast's carcuss laying there dead with it's tusks and feet gone ( used to make a umbrella rack) makes me want to cry.
Very true... totally agree with you. We must protect these amazing gentle giants from poachers and trophy hunters before going to extinct within next 100 years.
How many of you noticed the tiny baby nursing? Elephant cows have their mammary glands between their 2 front legs. If you look carefully you can see the other one when the baby's suckling. Sweet!
Great footage. No music. No Talking = Perfect. It's incredible how intelligent and "feeling" Elephants are. They associate the water with Croc's, so they pulled the baby back and made a wall of protection. Amazing animals. oNe LovE from NYC
They really are smart. They went all the way around to the other side so the camera had a better angle of them drinking. These elephants are great directors of photography.
I've never seen elephants drink...seen them eat, but this was just beautiful. Such amazing animals...you just want to go out and be part of all that love and care. ❤💕
It shows we need more than a mother to make a family. Auntie's, grandmother's, nurse maids, friend's, cousins, uncles, brother's, sister's uncle's, a whole community. People need people. This is a great example to follow.
I love watching animal herd behavior, particularly elephants’. Baby gets in the water, mom rushes over and curls her trunk under it, a juvenile comes to assist. Then - it would be the matriarch, right? - pushes her way in, actually knocks the younger one aside, and takes full control of the calf’s safety. When mom reaches out with her trunk to touch the baby, the matriarch pushes her trunk away and ferries the youngster out of the water. Absolutely fascinating.
I actually think the Mom was behind the Matriarch. The first big elephant was probably an aunt. The matriarch made a hole for the babe to get to the mom.
I was just thinking of this yesterday! I witnessed it - felt their joy as they rushed to the water hole. It was one of the most beautiful, amazing things I’ve ever seen at Tembe!
Everyone in the group followed the matriarch to get the right spot. They are so united and respectful to the matriarch and protect their babies , amazing!
such intelligent and regal animals! i love seeing how the different members interact with each other, especially when the juvenile was pushed by an older female! love explore nature cams too, they always feel so immersive!
Very sensible animals. I remember watching a hundred or more elephants come to drink and wallow in South Africa. The first pool was exclusively for drinking and not a foot was put in it. The next larger pool was for wallowing and playing. The hierarchy was also evident. The matriarchs with babies first right down to the mad playful teenagers. When the matriarchs were finished drinking, they wallowed then formed a guard in front of the wallowing pool, feeding their babies while the rest wallowed and played. They were a solid line of big mummas facing outward toward where the humans were watching. Wonderful to watch.
Can't believe I sat here for 6 minutes and calmly watched these elephants without interruption from a human voice. I appreciate the video! Thank you for sharing. From katrinka in San Francisco Bay Area🌴
How protective the adults elephant was to the baby elephant. They were immediately went help baby elephant to got out of the water. I guess alligator or crocodile normally would kill for. Elephant is such smart animal.
Aren't they amazing. I spent hours at the zoo once just watching them. They were actually playing with trees they tossed in for them. I've been a fan of elephants for as long as i remember and I'm just shy of 62..
Without human voice..It is very refreshing to hear nature speaking to us..
Soothing sounds of birds, animals and our earth.
Perfectly put!
It's like I'm there all by myself, total immersion.
Yes!
Absolutely!🤗🤗🤗🤗
That is my favorite sound in the spring, early morning, window open and laying in bed, listening.
I love how the whole herd of elephants protect each other. I wish more people protected their families like that, its what the we need now.
I am fortunate to have many protective family members. They come to my rescue whether I have called them or not. It is humbling for me since I, stubbornly, don't like to ask for or accept assistance. They mean well, so I try to show appreciation, though I do feel annoyed.
Men mate and walk away, inhuman.
EXACTLY!!!!
It's like the adults build a playpen around the babies.... when they stand to protect. Baby can see out, nobody can get in.
@@asafaust8869 be grateful, much worse to be alone without support. you're lucky xx
Better parents than MANY humans I'd say.

Oh I think most humans would keep their children from getting stuck in mud
All animals are better than humans

Than any human not many humans.
It's amazing how quiet they are for their immense size.
That's because they cannot gallop.
The herd looks after each other & together they protect the young ones. Very intelligent & caring animals!
@Les Brown
They cannot gallop. It doesn't matter if they are faster than me

Sanddab Z just plain evil!
I am astounded how these great lumbering animals are so aware and delicate around their tiny babies.
Of course they are moms, aunts, and grandmas. 😊
I tend to think they remember being a baby and not knowing everything can kill u lol
Id add dads uncles dads grandpas cousins.
@@sherryditzler7908
No matriarch society.
@@sherryditzler7908 Male elephants live alone after they reach adulthood.
They are aware of there size correlated to others. They remember childhood to reciprocate that understanding as an adult
It amazes me a tiny baby can walk around and through all those legs and never gets hurt.
Did everyone get that? The mother and aunt rush to keep the baby from going too far into the water and firmly push away a youngster who perhaps was more into playing with the little one. What amazing animals.
Amazing to see that indeed!
Mary Lou yes I did notice that and I just thought how touching that was. They are remarkable
I was amazed at that interaction. Humans could learn from these beautiful animals.
Loved it ! Very purposeful
Yes thank you awesome👍
I love elephants. They are like me. They grieve. They know joy. They protect. How can I not love them
They protecc
They a... Yeah, they protect.
There is a real culture in elephant herds.
Look how these Elephants take care of their calves....a lot of touching and smelling and eye contact.....not all humans do that.
I love thare are so cute very close each other god bless theam🐘🐘
@Chris Hiles WTF. Who brought up donkeys? What issues do you have against them?

Triggered much?

U are right. May all the elephants live happily there with all the love and kindness of the nature.

Elephants are a gift from heaven.
loved that little leg scratch the Baby did towards the end, beautiful Animals.

Beautiful maternal elephants. So huge and yet so tender with the little ones!
Wow that was amazing. Thanks for not talking. Loved hearing the birds, the wind, the rushing elephants.
1:55 check how the big elephant comes in and "feels" the water using the trunk. Is like us using our hands to play with water. Such a gentle giant.
I love elephants! They really protect the babies.
The matriarch knows where the sweet water is. That's what they are rushing for. They are great parents tho. 🐘💜
I love watching elephants .
The real love this pachyderm family has more love than humans have.
Beautiful. The two protect the baby. Amazing.
Elephants have the most remarkable family ties!
Awwwww I just love ellies! So sweet the way they watch out for the baby 🐘❤️
They really are smart. They went all the way around to the other side so the camera had a better angle of them drinking. These elephants are great directors of photography.
Wow, even when they run it still seems like slow motion 🙏
Awwwww when they started to pull the baby out of the water :’) elephants are absolutely beautiful creatures!
His so tiny, his little run 50ph to keep up with the herd. Elephants really look after each .God bless them ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nothing in the world cuter than a baby elephant!
OMG so very beautiful...how they protected their baby brought tears to my eyes. God bless and Protect them all!🐘♥️🐘🙏🐘

Yeah. Modern liberalism has destroyed something which was so pure and essential
Love watching their body language! Always see something new to learn. Amazing❣️
I love seeing them all having their tusks.
"Yes, you can play in the water. Okay, maybe not so deep. I'm going to hold onto you... you know what this is making me nervous. Let's go!"
It's beautiful to see healthy elephants living in their natural habitat.
They are showing what it means to be FAMILY!!!
I never knew how serene it is to watch elephants drinking.
I love how elephant's watch out for each other
As large and majestic as they are, they step so gently upon the earth. Just beautiful.
What a beautiful and peaceful group of elephants ♥️

Elephants make more sense to me than humans. ❣️
4:28 literally felt like they were doing a fist bump. “Ya we protect our young, bump it girl.”
Yes!! It did. This comment deserves more likes.
She's telling her to get back I got this
Or in this day and age of CV-19, the "elbow bump".
Love the animals. Humans could learn a lot from them!
To busy aborting our kids
as in how to live in harmony with nature.
Love, love, love these loving, intelligent creatures!💖
I just realized how cool it is to find elephants in the wild
So sweet how they protect the baby
SO MUCH THESE ANIMALS LOVE THEIR BABIES THEIR ONLY INSTINCT IS TO PROTECT THEM FROM DANGER,SO AWESOME.

Very beautiful and smart animals. Thank you😍👍👍
Прекрасные создания ❤❤❤ пожалуйста защитите невинных созданий 🙏❤❤❤
Crocs live in these ponds. It could be fear of crocs too. So protective! What good parents!
I just love watching those little baby elephants, they're such cute little munchkins💕
Even when they move fast in herds there is a constant awareness of placement among them, especially for the little ones.
I so love this! they are just all hanging out at the water cooler having a drink, just like humans do.
I wonder if they're telling terrible jokes in Elephantese and we just can't perceive it. Lol
Pure love... thank you so much for this video
These little elephants are so cute they make me laugh and cheer me up I love them 🇬🇧
