She seemed inexperienced as a mother, which led her to making rash decisions on how to guard her calves. She didn't seemingly choose either, it's just that the baby elephant stumbled and got grabbed. If she went after the baby who she couldn't catch up to in the lion's jaws, she would also lose her other baby being flanked behind her.

If that were me watching, I would've def. been firing warning shots at the lions, to scare them off, to give this new mother & her calves a chance to escape back to their herd!

“Don’t have to be faster than the lion, just faster than you bro”

I’m somewhat desensitised to a lot of this/these natural occurrences or processes….but I will admit that was tough to watch. Also pretty incredible to see that lion just grab the calf which probably weighs around 90 - 100 kilograms with an ease and trot off into the scrub. It’s gutting to see, but knowing natures process of balance vs mercy…the potential likelihood of both calves surviving into the impending summer (for our side of the hemisphere)is naught. We will say “nature is brutal, “Fuck lions they are evil” or “Nature is too brutal, I can’t watch this” which yes, brutal it can be, but I also acknowledge that is also just our way of masking the raw unvarnished truth, because we have become so disconnected from nature and the planet that we find reality too confronting.

For the people who say "why didn't you people save the babies? 😠": This is nature. This is how nature works. This pride could easily have been starving for days and been desperate to eat a proper meal, even if they were already eating a young buffalo (that surely wouldn't have been enough for six adult/close to adult lions. Like it says in the description of the video "In the wild, every day is a fight for survival". Had the people scared off the pride, the lions might have starved and become weaker and the babies might have lived longer. Perhaps there was cubs hiding nearby that needed food as well. Perhaps the lionesses were pregnant and needed the sustenance for the growing cubs. And as the caption says, taking care of twins would surely have been difficult for the mother. Which means that, essentially by one calf dying, it increases the risks of survival for the other calf as well as the mother.

Just like I knew everything that happens somebody knows about it somehow so I don't worry nobody gets away a Mother's Love for her family always known on an off the camera

Makes one wonder where the herd of elephants were. Mother's usually stick to a herd for protection. Sad one had to be taken out. Strength in numbers does help.

I know there say it's nature but the camera men could of stopped this and the twine baby elephant would of lived 😢

She was not going to be able to protect them solo… they would have all perished in the end if one had not made a sacrifice… this is real nature and not cruel but their way of survival… she is definitely feeling the loss as all mothers in nature do but she also understands that her will to live and protect are the same for other creatures…❤

And to clarify…. No I do not believe animals or at least all of them think like humans… I don’t think she was planning ways to build barriers other than using herself the best way she knew how… but we have to remember all animals have a drive to survive and that momma will love her child regardless… we see cruelty but they see everyday life and the struggle to survive… we need to protect nature by allowing it to be itself and stop interfering bc we “feel” the need to fix it… it doesn’t need fixed but just us doing our best not to destroy it ourselves… ❤️❤️

It seems they actually got both. First to the left when she charged and then to the right at the end when she tried to get other calf back. Might need to look at it on a bigger screen to be sure.

I think the lions got both of the babies.

That’s what I was thinking too, a lone elephant can be vulnerable especially with calves.

She actually was able to save both babies towards the end, I don’t know why they didn’t show the whole clip!!

Nah just the one bro. The other one was pretty much devoured, there is just no way that calf was saved. Even if a herd came via miracle, the calf probably had serious injuries resulting in paralyzation

My heart burst out after seeing this. Can't understand nature. The prey is invariably a herbivorous animal if it means the prey has to be eaten. A herbivirous animal kills a predator only out of fear and for self protection. Therefire when ever i see a predator getting killed, stomped and crushed, i feel it paid a price for being very bad, no matter that nature has created the predator in such a way.

I'm all for not interfering with nature, but i can't help but think these people being so close, making noises etc. Is also interfering

Unity is strength and it's seen just in lions, hyenas and wild dogs, rarely in other animals.

Elephant cubs have several predators

I believe in being at the right place at right time if intervention is in call. Like stepping in and helping the twins. Are elephants so plentiful now that we can just watch them die at any time? Won't, not can't, but won't step in to turn tables around to help animals in need? So what that its nature. Just because its wild nature and its what nature does, does that make it justifiable to just sit back and let nature take course, when im sure poaching has taken a heavy toll on elephant population as it is, that we cant step in to help? They werent skinny and starving lions. Pretty healthy. Id still of said " not on my watch today. Something wrong in stepping in? Something wrong with helping out sometimes ? I could argue that twins born is so one can live and other food for others. But im not that callus. I wonder what the elephants think about us watching when one of theirs is being under attack , specially their baby's. You think that they see you just sitting there and not helping to ward off lions? Maybe their attitude towards people would be more pleasurable instead of a lone mother fighting for her baby's life while humans just sit by and watch. Id sure as hell not like humans to come anywhere near me if thats all they do is watch my babys being attacked and not lift a finger to help? You think that strangers that stepped in to save someone's life or a animals life , wonders about the consequences of stepping in? Maybe something like, " well if i save this person from a sure drowning because they look like they are too tired to keep afloat, will me stepping in somehow change my course and that person course of life? Maybe ill just turn my head and not look and let life take its course

Honestly, the elephant made a bad mistaken by walking towards that many lions with her both of her babies .Lions just couldn’t pass up on a golden opportunity, very easy meal !

Tuff one right there 😮

Twin calves are very uncommon, aren’t they? My guess is this momma & calves were alone because she had recently given birth and had not caught up with the herd yet. It’s heartbreaking any time a young animal loses its life, but for one in the very first days of life seems even more so. I think the people should have intervened somehow to try to save both calves since twins are not usual. If for the study of how elephant twins grow & develop alone, saving both calves would have been not only the humane thing to do but could have provided valuable information about elephants.

If she wasn't alone, this youngsters would never try something like this, elephant were dangerous prey but alone a mother and her calf are easy target. Usualy elephant don't really go far away their group even to give birth they stay close to each other, i don't know how this mother end like this but just hope his herd arrive and save her and the last young. Even the giant were vulnerable sometimes😔

You pay some thousand bucks to go to Africa to see animals in their wild habitat and then prevent them from doing what they do in the wild? Where's the sense in that? Let them be.

I used to think that stumbling or tripping when facing danger was Hollywood. Until I seen it happen in real life and even in nature. You have animals who make a crucial mistake and it cost them. Little homie tripped at the worse moment. You can't make this stuff up.
