It seems to me that the larger older (grandmother) elephant trying to step in and show mom how it should be done. And she was right. What amazing and heartwarming animals. Our Grand Creator is worthy of praise!
Us mothers including many in the animal kingdom have similar emotions when it comes to the safety and love for our children. What a beautiful and intriguing world!!
Hey now don't count us dads out so fast. I hear you but i fought for years to save my daughter from her abusive alcoholic mother. Granted I think i was haven more maternal instinct in my male left foot than her mom's entire body.
The bigger elephant was the matriarch of the herd she knew mom was stressing out and she knew mom was an experienced in getting the baby out she didn’t want to hurt her by pushing but it all worked out and I’m so glad they are beautiful creatures love them ❤️💕❤️🐘🐘🐘
I don't know but I'm the same, they are so intelligent, they grieve when their friend or family member dies they are just amazing. I recently watched a video of a I think a Chinese woman who rescues elephants, she sings lullabies to them and they lie down and to to sleep. They also showed clips of people, most look Indian, that were so vicious and cruel to them it was unbearable to watch. How anyone could do what these sick people did I could never never understand. They were being cruel for the sake of it. People like that deserve the same thing to happen to them.
A great book to read is "The Last Giants” by Levison Wood. It is all about elephants, I am reading it now and I am loving it! God bless ❤️ He loves you all 💝
Both the elephants display very complex emotions. The mother is panicking, and with her maternal instincts kicked in, is not allowing the bigger elephant to go closer to the baby. The bigger elephant is getting angry looking at the baby shivering and mom not doing enough to help the baby. In fact, its the larger elephant which gets into the water and pushes the baby out finally in-spite of the confused mom trying to block her.
Yeah, that's what it seemed to me, that the OLDER Mom was actually trying to HELP free the baby but the YOUNGER Mom didn't understand maybe because this is the first time in HER lifetime, a rescue attempt like this has been done? Plus of course she panicked.
Not a fight the mama elephant was like I can do it I can take care of my own baby and maybe grandma was like you don't know what you doing move out of the way that's what I look like to me
@Songs Mirth : I loved the way the inexperienced mother protected the baby from the larger elephant, even though the larger appeared to know better how to save the little one. Mama was too frightened to act effectively. It takes a herd to raise a baby elephant. How sad that you felt compelled to insert your "politics" into such an intriguing video. Your comment speaks volumes about YOU and your obsession. The farther I read, the more embarrassed I became for you. Seriously, you need to seek help.
If the mother stopped fighting with the grandmother then maybe that baby would have been out sooner. I guess it's like a young first time human mother demanding she take care of things herself rather than let someone else help out.
Amazing to watch these beautiful animals work together and figure out how to get the calf to safety. They are so smart and I love how the bond between mother , baby and herd is so tight. You can just see the complex thinking these animals do to help one another. Never gets old watching elephants
@sarahspeaks144 wow, you are so right!! It's just like a human that has traveled to a certain place many times and if asked how to get there we would tell them the same thing, mostly as you said, from imprint and memory and had never tried to find another faster or better way because it always got them where they needed to be. I feel as humans we can't attach our thoughts or reasoning to what an animal does and if left to handle it most often they figure it out for themselves. It may not be in our way or our time but they get there and as you said for their own good reasons. I compare it to the lesson a grandmother would teach her children and grandchildren where a certain vegetable grows best so when it comes time to do planting for themselves they know best, and yes plant may grow great somewhere else at one time the place she showed them works all the time
@sarahspeaks144 lol you sound like my long lost twin!! My hubby tells me I'd get lost in a wrinkled paper bag. I've got zero sense of direction and my way to give directions is by asking if they know where the big White house on the hill is and the fence on the left. Drives my hubby nuts. After 25 years of marriage he given up letting me drive on trips away from home😂😂
It was not a fight; the older elephant was showing the mother how to get the baby out; however, the Mom didn't trust the older elephant, as it may have crushed the baby if it pushed very hard.
I’ve seen situations where the females make the mom who’s in the way (because she’s nervous)and other elephants move away so the matriarch (experienced mom)can help baby most of the elles are freaking out anyway they learn by seeing they’re so magnificent I have to watch them every day and they make me laugh 😂
Whew. The bigger one seemed to want a solution too but was arguing for a rougher more radical approach ? Little mama stood her ground and prevailed. Good mama !!!
I've been fortunate to know many, took it for granted and watching videos like this, I've become awed and humbled by them. The experience has changed me.
Around 0:58, you can see a liquid excreting from a slit to the right of the adult elephants eye (that elephant is not the mother). Elephants do this when they are in distress, upset, scared or sad. A good example of elephant empathy, they feel the mothers pain. Also, I don't think those two adult elephants were fighting. That other elephant, by the looks of it, is the matriarch (head of the heard/family) and possibly the grandmother. She was helping the mother push the baby out. The trunk locking at 4:27 is an affectionate greeting, almost as a way of saying thank you.
I love how the ladies …aunts sisters and cousins all care for all the babies. They all celebrate and go bonkers happy when a new one is born . When it’s stuck in mud( that’s very common occurrence. ) They all try to help. The statistics are if a new elephant is born to big sisters then the baby calf’s survival rate increases by I forget the percentage minimum 20% it is less for baby calf’s born to big brothers. It’s the same for Indian elephants and the pigmy elephants.
@@doduyle8476 elephants have 2 vaginas they will only get pregnant when they are ready to. So even if a bull chooses them they have to allow pregnancy to happen.
The larger elephant seemed to be the matriarch who was not fighting the mother, but seemed to be trying to get the mother to move out of the way so that she (the matriarch) could better help rescue the baby. If you look closely, the presumed matriarch is the first one of the two to try to move behind the baby to push it up out of the water, while the mother was trying unsuccessfully to pull the baby up by its trunk. The mother was frantic to protect her baby instead of trusting the matriarch to help her. The matriarch is usually more experienced than the other cows because she is older, wiser, usually bigger, has had several babies herself, leads, and sets the pace for the entire herd. The mother, in this case, seems to be a young cow (by virtue of her size) who is probably a first time, inexperienced mother. Usually the herd would have stuck around and helped separate the frantic mother from the baby so that the matriarch and several of the older cows could concentrate on saving the baby. It seems unusual that this didn't happen with this incident.
Mommy is so good care for her baby stuck in the madly hole she don,t want to go far away from her baby. It awesome to see the mommy so good thank you for sharing your video.
Not a fight, the other elephant was trying to help rescue the baby as she sensed that the mother was inexperienced, but the mother kept coming in her way. You can see that it's the other elephant that finally pushes the baby out of the hole. It is very likely that this elephant was the baby's grandmother. Happy ending ...all smiles!
Perhaps I'm letting a little anthropomorphism sneak in the door, but I definitely got the impression that grandma was getting a little impatient with her inexperienced daughter; "oh for goodness' sake get out the way lass, here, this is how it's done"!

I didn't see any flash of light or giant hand reaching down from the sky. Seems to me the elephants did all the work and deserve all the kudos. But I'm sure your prayers 5 months ago had a huge impact on the outcome of something that happened and was videoed 5 years ago. 'The Lord' surely does work in mysterious ways.
The young mother seemed panicked and inexperienced. It was the bigger elephant she was fighting with that actually got the calf out by pushing it up with her tusks
The bigger elephant is telling the mother why don't you just push the baby up? let me do it for you. And mum is telling her, you don't need to interfere. Let the baby learns by itself.
Why you wasn’t watching her that’s the same as us the Mom says I was watching her. That’s why I believe there’re fighting. All out of love 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I think it probably wasn't really a "kick" as such... Elephants have sensitive pads on the soles of their feet, and will often reach behind with their foot to examine who is behind them, just as they do with their trunks, and even occasionally their tails. You can see this kind of behaviour most often in mothers who are just checking their calves behind them. I guess it's easier than turning round when you're that big! So while it is of course possible that the kick you refer to in the video was intended to fend off the larger elephant, I suspect that mother may have just been keeping tabs on her whereabouts while she had her back turned.
Thank you so much. I envy you a lot for having cottaged the two elephant mums in the wild. What's great is to see both moms come to help the baby out of the hole in which he is stuck, after, we can see the mom leave with her baby beside her. It's really fantastic, thank you again for filmed these scenes. That's what I love most about elephants, their great fraternity. Have you had any contact with them? Even a visual contact, and their reaction? - I notice that at 1:01 we see an elephant defecated, and that's natural of course. However, there is a lot of poo around the water point? Is this a place that elephants frequent to empty? That is possible ! However, I don't know anything about elephants for their natural needs. Once again, thank you for posting these exceptional images.
The mom is in distress and was trying to push the big elephant out of the way, eventho the matriarch knows what its doing, however the mother is making it difficult 😂😂

This was so interesting I want sure what we happening all. I know is elephants help each other. Thank you for explaining. Makes sense.
It was a learning lesson from the older female!

The older ELEPHANT knew what she was doing. The mother is just being a mom, OVERLY PROTECTIVE AND SCARED. THATS A MOM. LOL
Abdisalam Farah, good analogy.

Yes my thoughts exactly. The grandma or older elephant is more experienced. Maybe threatened the mother.

No, I saw mum and grandma made a small gesture of reconciliation before
Elephant calves do not at first understand how top heavy they are, and the danger that edges represent.
Looks more like the matriarch is trying to get the mother to move out of the way so she can help but mama wont.

what a releif to see that happy ending.
To see her get on her knees is so human like.

It's as if the mother is saying, "No! You'll hurt him." But the older elephant kept trying to get a little push in and it worked.

I didn't know elephants can bend their legs.
DWA ARP What? Well how do you think they walk, or lie down or mate?? Bloody hell! You must be so young?
Elephants have two knees and two elbows, like every other mammal. '4 knees' is such an old myth, I'm surprised people are still spouting it.
Right - I'm always giving the side-eye when people say that dogs have four legs. "Uh - those are shoulders, elbows, and wrists up front......."

Did you know that elephants can't run? Seriously, they can walk fast when they want to get a shift on, but they cannot run.

Moving an entire elephant herd to "another area". We humans should be imprisoned for life. And maybe we are.
