      +Mathieu Bourgarel Hey, Mathieu. I think you should rename this video. People search for baby elephants, not BB elephants. The only reason I am making this suggestion is that I think there would be a lot more views if this came up in a search for baby elephants. This is one of the most touching videos on RUclips. Once again, thank you for posting it.

      I hope mom had the chance to see the rescue tactic of the matriarch of the second herd. Younger elephants need to learn from the wits and experiences of older ones.
      Btw. ca. 75% of the genes for intelligence are passed down to the next generation by the mother, mainly through her X allosome provided for the baby.
      Intelligence is a female thing, it's inherited from females / the mom (in case of all mammals).

    Like in most cases: Animals get in in life risk danger because humans change nature. This is no natural waterhole. Whoever built this concrete construction, it was a badly job. It is narrow and has obviously no exit ramp. The same reason why so many wild animals die in our swimming pools, drain pipes, fences or on the roads.

    • @debrabiderman4275
      @debrabiderman4275 5 лет назад +3

      On this we must agree to disagree. These watering holes save lives. Even natural watering holes have their risks, from crocs to mud to predators lying in wait. We have robbed them I'm so many of their natural watering holes. Once we alter any of their habitat we alter all of it. Replacing a natural water hole with a water spot is better than just taking away a water hole.

    I love how Elephants are so gentle most of the times when they do their rescuing of a baby and know how to remain calm and get it done. I wonder if they couldnt get the baby out and were to leave, if the Humans would have helped rescue the Baby; since it is a man made structure? I sure hope so, since they built it and are responsible to a degree and the lions were there ready and waiting. Two things I haved learned on YT, Baby Elephants seemingly by the millions get trapped in some sort of ditch or hole and need to be rescued; and India has an epidemic of dog rescues in what looks like a third world post apocalyptic world. Has there even been any world wars or nuclear type strikes in India in modern day? I know the Mahabharata of ancient India had some Wars going on and even talks about Elephants being burned and fires reigning down in some Cosmic Wars, but nothing in modern times right? Anyway, yeah Elephant Matriarchs! What Human rescuer could say they rescued a Baby Elephant and at the same time, took a few gulps of water and a massive poop bombing; all while clearing the other rubber necking clan out of the way and while Lions were there?

    baby elephants are so clumsy - they must have the best mothers in the world to keep up with them!
    maybe that watering hole could be made differently since it seems to be a trap for some wildlife. it is so hard to know exactly what they need. not being able to anticipate it often causes problems.
    fortunately in this case moma elephant was very clever and determined!
