Watch what happens when this newborn elephant calf falls into the waterhole
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
So much was going on at this waterhole! Hippo playing with a crocodile. Then this tiny newborn elephant and its mum seemingly rejected by their herd. However, this video focuses on what happens when this tiny calf slips into the waterhole.
Mum almost leaves. Then becomes protective against the hippos. Not to forget the slip and sliding this tiny one does before finally getting out.

I'm so happy the baby is safe. Brave mama protected her baby so bravely.
No other animal could've swum through those hippos like that. The way they protect they look out for their babies is amazing.

The elephant rules the jungle..
All of the mamas seem quiet around the little ones. I read yesterday that when the female and baby herd walks, their pace is as fast as that of the smallest baby! They are such awesome mothers! We should take more example from them. Patience and unconditional love, and more patience.

yes, yes, yes, we should learn a whole lot more from these awesome animals they are so intelligent so big but ive never seen more gentle sweet creatures and they are the very best mothers, they along with aunties and grandmothers they all take it to raise the little ones, we humans leave our babies to the mother alone and no one can raise a baby alone without absolutely be so tired and some cant take it, we should definitely learn from them how to raise babies for sure

I don't think that the group realized that baby was in trouble when it first fell into the water. It was great to see baby finally navigate it's way back to the bank and to watch mom keep her leg positioned to help keep baby from sliding back into the water. Baby ellie is just the cutest little thing ever. Great Mom!

Little baby wanted a drink, too. The adults have protective instincts, sometimes others in the herd also save the babies from harm. Close call. Majestic, and stunning video.

Yes, a mother’s love is awesome. However, since 1973, 70 million of the most innocent among us have been murdered by abortion. The manner of deaths is always grisly. Most of these women say that they were coerced into this “ solution.” I wish that we could all learn from the elephant mothers. Most animal mothers will do anything to save their children. In fact, mama tigers are known to be ferocious big cats. Most animals have no desire to provoke a tiger mom.
She's a great mother❤🙏
I was so worried about the tiny baby until the end..and the baby was such a mischief.. wanted to get in water again..such a naughty tiny guy..😘😘
What a faithful mother !!
She was not leaving her baby under any circumstances and it appears as though she would fight Satan for her baby. That's a very devoted mama
Amazing mom! All the other elephants left, her baby wanted to play in the water.. She was so patient.. Pretended she was calm around the hippos, until they got too close, she said " touch my baby, and you have to mess with angry, big me " Beautiful elephant mom. Hope those two will be safe together as long as they live. I wonder... Why did dad elephant, not stay behind with them, when all the others left..?? Anyway... Bye 👋 ❤

Elephants take care of one another, how gentle is the mother when pushing him up
I have never seen a mama elephant protecting her baby from hippos. Wow. Such precious footage! Even hippos got intimidated in shallow water like this by a gentle giant mama. It was very nerve wrecking to see the baby in the water. He had hard time getting out of water 💦 , he kept slipping at the end and my heart was racing. Thank goodness he was able to get out. The elephant isn’t even two months old. Less than a month old, it didn’t look that different from new born elephants I’ve seen. Very tiny yet so resilient. ❤
