Baby Elephant

This clip is from Amboseli. It shows a newly born elephant and will capture your heart!

how sweet was that? He was just like Bambi with his legs, I wondered if he was ever going to get up and get his legs together.

Thanks for posting.

Wasn't that just so adorable!! I do have to admit to having a little giggle at some points! I wonder how much time actually lapsed?!!

What a great find SM!!

I love the way Mum got down on her knees and putting her face to his to try and encourage him up.

I know! Wasn't she just fantastic!! It was like she was showing how to do it!! Was she trying to break up the grass to make it more dry for him to stand on, or was she trying to dustbathe?

She was also lucky she didn't give birth in the water, that was a big water line she had on her!

That was my thought Anne-Marie, a bit too close to the water for that little ele amazing to see and I couldnt decide what she was doing with the earth

That was just the most amazing footage, thanks so much for posting it SM. What an incredibly caring mother, how she tried to help him to stand up and digging the ground like she did to help him and encourage him by putting her face next to his, it mad me smile and cry at the same time, just wonderful a truely brilliant mum and an adorable baby elephant, he was gorgous

That was fantastic SM thanks. I really think she was trying to break up the surface as it was grass it was proberbly slippy so that he could get a purchase with his feet. It's amazing the care, and gentleness she showed.
