They aren’t fascinated. They are paying respect. This is just heartbreaking. That poor little calf. I could cry

I hope it dies like in the last documentary where it got eaten by hyenas
This is where organizations like Reteti Elephant Sanctuary and Sheldrick Wildlife Trust elephant orphanages come in. They literally rescue baby animals and orphans from situations like this. They need these type of organizations throughout Africa imo.
I just want to hug that poor baby

Can't see a animal struggling for life... specially a elephant...i love elephant they are so innocent...
I feel sad for him.
If anyone is wondering why they dont help the animals, its because the cameras are far away or are auto recording so nobody is actually there, and also if they intervene it interrupts the practices of nature.
Breaks my heart into pieces 😥😥😥😥
This isn't sad. That elephant carcass went on to provide food and life to COUNTLESS creatures. One elephant's sacrifice, sustained all kinds of healthy animals.
Brings me to tears so sad to lose one of these wonderful animals so sad
They are so respectful to there kind...they are more emotional than us..hope they can all survive..it's so dry. In there
Man, I don't want to watch anymore of these sad videos for my heart is aching. Just seen one where the calf lost his herd, he was shun by other elephants and the hyenas attacked him. 😢😭😭😭😭

I thought humans r the only mammals in deep pain n sorrow but after seeing this video my heart broke for the tiny orphan.
I feel quit sad
Poor baby.. 😢 want to give him a hug..
No, hablo inglés pero sentí una tristeza 😭profunda y cuándo lo pateó y el bebé quiso arrimarsele se frenó sintió peligro miedo!!! amo los elefantes ❤️. Vivir y sobrevivir en esté mundo de locos y HASTA de maltrato en el mundo animal por parte de la madre???? La tapa
Got me in tears 😰Poor baby 😔Rest mama😞
dear lord you couldve sent it to a sanctuary . BBC should be able to sponsor it for what its made off filming them. the adoptive mother clearly doesnt want it, you oculdve easily taken it to safety
@sindismal, DrAtoda, and all the people that want to know... I've seen the full episode on Belgian television today, and unfortunately little Himba was so weakened due to nothing being fed properly, that he was barely able to stand at the end. The group waited for him to get better and stronger, but it got worse every day ... In the end they HAD to move to find new resources, but little Himba was never seen again...
This has that Land Before Time type of feel LOL
The struggle for survival is real.

Man kills elephants by the thousands threatening extinction but BBC crew not allowed to help a dying baby because nature must take its course? Humans are compassionate creatures and also part of nature, if there were any around, not these crocodiles from BBC, they would have helped.
I teared up a little.
Feel my heart 💔
This is rather sad, and I'm sure if the camera crew were allowed to help, they would have. But the thing about documenting nature is, no matter what happens, humans are not allowed to intervene. That's one of the hard parts about the job. Other organizations are not able to help either because the baby has not totally been orphaned, it still has a herd to live with. Whether this was filmed or not, nature took its course, and things like this do happen.
Poor little guy 😞
It really breaks heart ! So sad! Why can anyone call to help!
I really hate the dramatic music in some of these shows. Seems obscene. Imagine being the composer: "Right, this baby elephant is going to starve to death , and we're gona need you to intensify the drama and suspense of imminent death for the audience, because this is real life." 😭

I understand that people are feeling really sad about this baby elephants situation; however if there was no camera filming this, nature would have taken its course as it always does. There may have been other reasons to not assist the baby, and one of them looks like the logistics involved. You have to have transportation, and milk, which has a short shelf life, for the little guy. I'd take bets they discussed the options they had and couldn't find a solution.
