@@samarkant0 There are no male elephants present. They are both females. My guess is that the smaller one, not the babies, is an older daughter of the matriarch. Elephants don't live in "mom, dad, babies relations". A herd is made up by only females, led by the oldest, most knowledgeable female, the matriarch. Males are made to leave the herd when reaching adolescent. They live in solitary, only looking for females at mating season, when the go into "musth".
What an amazing awesome experience!! So beautiful that mom let the baby explore until she thought it was enough. Elephants amaze me with how smart they are and how they are such a close family and will do what it takes to protect a family member. I wish people would let them stay wild and not abuse them.
I love this. Elephants have an understanding of pictographs (they can paint pictures of each other), and they seem to understand that we have that same understanding. So she drew a couple lines in the dirt before directing her baby to the other side of them, then watched the tourists for a few moments before leaving. It's clear she was saying, "As long as you don't cross these lines, we won't have a problem." I love it!
It truly is amazing how many elephant experts there are on RUclips, and how many of those experts speak elephant fluently.... Without you guys, the rest of us wouldn't have the first clue what was happening here. I mean, until you clarified it for me, I actually thought she was trying to kill that little baby....
@@janetgiddings5538 - Dear Ms. Giddings, I send this with hopes of clearing up some confusion. Mouths cannot be "smart", just as an arm cannot be "smart". These are merely biological adaptations that enable us to function more efficiently. The steep but gradual intellectual decline rampant throughout our species has led to some strange expressions being formed and accepted, but these are inherently flawed, and I don't want to see you lumped in with the rest of the sheep, so I thought I'd take a moment to try and educate you a little bit. I hope you have a wonderful day, and a peaceful life.
Mama is letting tourists know it’s her land....her road.....and she’s just tolerating them....for the moment. Two proud mamas showing off their beautiful babies.
That woman in blue moved just as the tour guide said, "Don't move suddenly." Then the elephant starts pawing the ground. As the baby steps by the side of the truck, the same woman moves forward slightly. The mother elephant immediately moves toward her baby and says, "That's enough!"
Not really, Elephants are highly altruistic species that have been historically known for being friendly, and even aiding humans in distress. If an Elephant kills a human, there's a chance it was an accident because they're large animals, but also intelligent!
@@osaru-yo I do not trust these intelligent species, including man. Chimpanzees, another intelligent species, are also highly dangerous and vicious at times. Elephants are often extremely irritable. I know because I live in Africa. I have had many encounters with elephants and I know them very well.
@@jeroenjansen2709 Oh, your lack of trust for these species isn't universal, and your origin has no correlation with your experience in zoology. Elephants are intelligent beings. And just like humans, they're altruistic, and emotions/feelings play a huge part in the understanding of the co-existence between us and them. Elephants have had a long history of social interactions with human beings, and their intelligence is the main reason to why they recognise us. It is also why the mother in the video entrusted her own child to be near humans. There are gaps, of course. Over the years, us human beings have become more aggresive with the overall nature and its environment. We've poached elephants for their flesh, and for the sakes of the ivory bullshit. This has caused them to loose the trust they once put in us. I can't speak for all elephants, but for the majority. Wouldn't you too feel uneasy if another type of species invaded your space, and killed you for their benefits? The same can be said for monkeys and apes. Just because you had a bad experience with them, it doesn't mean they're fit to be in the stereotypical agenda you've made for them. I've been to Africa too, in fact, my relatives are African! (Really, they are.)
@@osaru-yo I live in Africa and I have many experiences encountering huge elephants along narrow gravel roads. Only tourists or zoologists like you fail to see the warning signs they give you. If he does not want you to pass you stay there until he gives you the sign, which will be lost on you. Even if it takes one hour. I am sure that will be too much for your royal ass. I am talking about wild elephants. Elephants are quick to confront you or animal. I have seen an elephant and a rhino confronting each other
@@jeroenjansen2709 Africa isn't some slum of wildlife where the humans co-exist with the animals like savages. Africa has many countries, where they've built fine cities and towns for humans to inhabit where wild animals are out of reach, unless you actually go to the Savannah or the forest. Again, your experiences aren't universal. Elephants are not predators. They have no reason to attack unless they're threatened. It is their intelligencr that separates them from wild cats, and other harmful animals like rhinos. Elephants use their brain, and their emotions to think and feel. They're sensible creatures. But you are right however on one thing. You might have come across an angry elephant, but have you considered the fact that you're invading its property in the first place? Let alone, the elephant could've had a bad day with another species or even humans if you may. My "royal ass" is aware of the dangers, but I did do my research on animals, and Elephants are not thirsty for blood. Also, please, I'm not just some tourist. Did I not tell you about my relatives? My parents are born Africans (Ghanian and Ethiopian to be precise). So I'm not some "rich spoiled tourist" in the manner that you may think me of. I am a decent human being who did my homework. Smh.
Amazing. Two sweet elephant mothers let their calves explore the truck full of people. So trusting. I hope people will always be worthy of that trust. Those particular elephants must have had positive experiences with people, otherwise they would never have let their calves approach.
they weren't trusting at all. Didn't you see her pawing the ground? Did you not notice that her ears were never folded back, but instead were always out? That's not the move of a trusting elephant. That's a cautious elephant who is teaching her calf that humans cannot be trusted. AT. ALL. and they are right to conclude that.
Absolutely perfectly wonderful. Such magical, wise, gentle creatures with so much to teach humanity. The mom was so gentle with her baby, as she guided her/him away from the car with her trunk. Wow so smart, good mom.
Brandt McCall .... Brandt, wasn’t that a beautiful experience , but I thought mum was turning the baby around, it was going to far, could that be possible? Have a good day.
Those are big words from someone that talks like they are 12 years old. Was that persons comment worthy of the swearing and insults? Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?
Andre Salzmann If nothing changes in the near future, there will be no more elephants in the wild in 10-20 years. In fact, elephants are already extinct in many parts of Africa, from where they once roamed. There are even fewer Asian elephants. I'm afraid, you sir, are the ignorant one. Maybe you're just one of those trophy hunters who'd rather lie and claim that killing animals using the 'name of conservation' as an excuse just so you can get that trophy on your wall or maybe you get a thrill by killing defenceless animals and watching the life fade from their eyes? I'm not against hunting for reasons of sustenance but trophy hunting, especially of at risk animals, is basically just a way for blood thirsty killers to kill without going to jail. Yup, I bet you're one of those or at least, a wannabe!!
elephants are extremely interesting, they often die where they were born remembering that very place throughout their life!! watched a clip with a guy that worked with a female elephant and was separated for years and before he died he wanted to see her one last time and he called her name and she heard it and came to him and he gave her old commands from back in the day and she remembered all of it and you can see the love she has for the man and was just really remarkable☺
Latha Baradwaj it's a documentary on Netflix. I cried. So Amazing. The Grandparents remember things taught to them from their parents and they pass it on to next generation. Where to find water in droughts, you name it.
I recall having seen (something like) this on RUclips several months ago, about a trainer who hadn't seen the elephant for maybe 15 years!!!!. Each time the elephant obeyed a command, she was given a jellybean. (Is this equivalent to working for peanuts?)
These are adventurous moments of life. Thought these moments have become memories for these tourists yet they need to exercise extra care in order to take such risks.
Oh my word that was out of this world .... The cow showed the baby a very volatile moment but all the people were so controlled and the guide was Awesome ! What a life experience Beautiful.XX
That was interesting behaviour. As the guide said, the mother was aware of what was going on, the calf was exploring so it approached the vehicle. The interesting bit was how the mother used a distraction technique to take the baby away. She pulled the calf back towards her when it started to prolong the encounter. The cow actually pulled the calf back between her front legs which is where her teats are. The calf smelled her milk and immediately lost interest in the vehicle. Would be great to follow up to see if it was a deliberate strategy on the cow's part, or just an incidental result.
That was exactly what I observed. The mother elephant distracting the baby because it was not sure whether the vehicle presented a danger to the little calf. Amazing!
+123ABCCBA321drome They all survived. They are regular visitors. Elephant never kills anybody. They are gentle & do not enjoy hurting anybody unlike cruel so called humans who kill & eat.
Latha Baradwaj Latha, you have only to view other RUclips videos of elephants attacking these vehicles to see that they are, in fact, able and willing to attack and kill any thing and anybody whom they perceive as a threat to them !
123ABCCBA321drome They do attack vehicles because it is an obtrusion & it intimidates the herd esp., who protect children, what with all the roaring & noise of the passengers. I have grown up with elephants in Kerala. They are the most lovable, gentle vegetarian giants I've seen.
Latha Baradwaj Also, Latha, humans are humans, not, " so called humans. " And, yes, humans, like other carnivors, do kill and eat. Look at your shoes. Are they made of leather ? Then some animal died to make them.
Don't understand why this video doesn't have a million likes and views. Must have been an awesome experience to see these beautiful animals so incredibly close!
Yes it is an incredible experience you face an elephant that if you move a muscle it attacks you, you have to be very stupid to invade the territory of these animals in extinction to take away their peace, there is a lot to do
Very intelligent. The mom makes marks to signal not to pass and moves the baby behind that path. It seems like they were offering them to get out just not to pass it.
Oh nooo lol see her ears fanned out....the kicking of dirt....these are CLEAR DONT MAKE KILL YOU AND I REALLY WILL warnings.... She was incredibly calm but made the point...had they moved....RIP TOURISTS
Dear, Lady in the Blue shirt... "Don't move" means: DO. NOT. MOVE! ...And while you're at it, stop staring at the calf like you're about to have a full course meal!
The difference between having a wonderful wild animal interaction and a possible wildlife encounter nightmare is an experienced wildlife guide. His instructions when the calf came close to the vehicle was so crucial. It could have gone bad quickly, had he not given the proper instructions.
Meeting the most celebrated person in the world would not matter to me as much as having an incredible encounter like this with these beautiful elephants - very lucky people in this jeep :)
Wow! What an amazing moment!! I know there must have been the urge to pet the calf, or even the mother, but just an amazing moment to get closeup to a wild elephant without disturbing them.
Ce qui est magnifique, lorsque la maman doucement l’écarte de la voiture, tout en douceur, le sentiment que l’on éprouve en regardant cette scène est indescriptible. 😌❤️
Daniel - is that you? We rode with you last August - you're the best guide ever! Hearing your voice and seeing this video made me smile. Have thought about you and Beth many times and about what a wonderful trip you two provided!
The OP was right. Many RUclips comments are idiotic, but you will find some good info here and there. How do I know, I'm an employed person who has volunteered to work in the bush the last 3 years in a row. Also you don't need to add a space before the question mark.
Her ears were back, and approached the vehicle cautiously. Until the person with the light colored shirt moved. She immediately went to a high sense of caution, with ears out, and was warning them, with that low growl. Very interesting video.
When you look at how elephants direct their young, whilst keeping their composure and assessing the "threat", and calmly backing away. It ought to stay any hand from killing them mindlessly like we do...
Look at how the mom warns the people not to touch her baby with her ears flared and the marking with her foot. She's in effect saying just look and let my baby move about but absolutely do not touch her
Wow what an awesome experience that would live on in your memories for years to come. To have this once in a lifetime encounter with a new elephant mum and her neewborn calf and she was comfortable to approach the vehicle of people without showing protective behavior is truly a wonderous experience and I am so jealous LOL .
What a fabulous experience,having the luxury of those so intelligent & magnificent creatures breathing next to me,in a such a peaceful and friendly mood!!.I just want to hug & to kiss a million times,these tinny calfs!!!So adorables!!! :-) !!.Thanks a lot 4 sharing this video!!
She's quite chilled especially when you think she's got her baby with her. Because she'd have a right to be nervey. They are so privileged and lucky for that experience.
Being a wild animal . We should thank God and our Mothers for this Mercy and generosity which God has bestowed in hearts. specially A Mother . May God always protect our Mothers.

Amazing. She didn't like her baby getting so close but was remarkably patient.
I liked how she cradled the calf with her trunk. She was saying stay back here where it is safest.
you'd be the one who goes to pet the calf and gets trampled.
She ain't do that the first time though...she jus let him walk straight up 2 the car.

):57 Don't touch those ugly tourists! You don't know where they've been lol. Such a good mother. Great footage.
Ce qui est magnifique, lorsque la maman doucement l’écarte de la voiture, tout en douceur, le sentiment que l’on éprouve en regardant cette scène est indescriptible. 😌❤️
I Love The Care Shown By Mother Elephant (At 00:56)
srnp0007 why because it is one of your gods?
Yes me too, such intelligent, evolved animals with much to teach humanity.
The elephant just drew peace sign on the ground. ✌️
Such smart and bright animals always learning something new each day from the elephants very proactive towards the baby elephant thanks ! Joe
Daniel - is that you? We rode with you last August - you're the best guide ever! Hearing your voice and seeing this video made me smile. Have thought about you and Beth many times and about what a wonderful trip you two provided!
You do not know how dangers thus is. There is nothing more dangers than an elephant with calf. You were very very lucky
Careful she was giving you guys a warning, she was kicking up the dirt as a warning.
I noticed that also and agree. If someone had sneezed it might have turned out different. Awesome video though.

Yup the guide said "dont move now.."
The OP was right. Many RUclips comments are idiotic, but you will find some good info here and there. How do I know, I'm an employed person who has volunteered to work in the bush the last 3 years in a row. Also you don't need to add a space before the question mark.
PUNKem733 Like the grammar correction. Hehe.
what an unbelievable once in a lifetime opportunity. you guys were so lucky to have experienced that encounter. i just added this to my bucket list.
Such beautiful, majestic beings ❤️❤️❤️
This Mother is teaching humanity a lesson.
Beautiful animals and so intelligent!
Now imagine if someone in the group sneezed. Bloodbath!
They would of backed up with ears fully wide and head down, they won't attack unless they really feel threatened or they are attacked themselves
The pawing the earth is just the perfect bit of slight aggression to let those people know they better not try anything stupid with her baby.
아기코끼리는 호기심천국이죠😄
어미코끼리는 가지 말라고 코로 잡아 땡기네요
Wow! So close, and no craziness. This was amazing. Thank you for sharing
Ааааа, как классно. Мама так смотрела внимательно. Потом хоботом ребенка увела от машины❤️😍🐘
Mother elephant: No humans are allow to cross this line except for elephant's and other animals.
RUclips: wanna see a 10 year old video
Us: why not
Mama said, see that line I just drew? You cross it and you will feel the full force of my trunk.
Until now i didn't know that female elphant is called elephant cow, I simply thought an elephant, a calf and a cow😂
That was so sweet, the babies are so innocent but the mama knows.
Love elephants 😘 Pray they stay safe 🏴
Funny how this brings me so much happiness just watching this. I am assuming if there was a Bull elephant there things may have been different.
Mam Elephant was like hey humans you can look at my babies but don't teach okay. I will stand right here. At 5 minutes okay baby that enough let go.
Her ears were back, and approached the vehicle cautiously. Until the person with the light colored shirt moved. She immediately went to a high sense of caution, with ears out, and was warning them, with that low growl. Very interesting video.
Wow, that's really close! Not sure I would be so brave, but awesome for those people to experience that!
Impressionante e admirável o instinto materno! ! !🥰
So gentle with their babies.
Wow! Awesome once in a lifetime experience. I am sooooooooo glad that the guide told the people not to move. 🐘
The mother....so sweet how she protects her baby....who is the CUTEST!!
🐘 🐘 Süss, die Elefanten Mama und Baby! 💋💋💋💋💋💖💖💖💖💖
That’s a beautiful picture of mom and baby. Gosh I wish I could see that myself. These are very lucky people.
When you look at how elephants direct their young, whilst keeping their composure and assessing the "threat", and calmly backing away. It ought to stay any hand from killing them mindlessly like we do...
Look how genial she is with the baby. So beautiful!
Look at how the mom warns the people not to touch her baby with her ears flared and the marking with her foot. She's in effect saying just look and let my baby move about but absolutely do not touch her
Such amazing mom with her beautiful baby elephant 🐘🐘🐘🐘 I truly love elephants 🐘
Don't cross the line. Love African elephants. Just awsome
Wow what an awesome experience that would live on in your memories for years to come. To have this once in a lifetime encounter with a new elephant mum and her neewborn calf and she was comfortable to approach the vehicle of people without showing protective behavior is truly a wonderous experience and I am so jealous LOL .
It's incredible how much these elephants get close to tourists !
What a fabulous experience,having the luxury of those so intelligent & magnificent creatures breathing next to me,in a such a peaceful and friendly mood!!.I just want to hug & to kiss a million times,these tinny calfs!!!So adorables!!! :-) !!.Thanks a lot 4 sharing this video!!
Es adorablemente hermoso!!!! elefantas y sus crías, cómo las protegen!!!!
Who gets this lucky? All those baby Ellie’s!!
Elephants are amazing. Such good mommys.
She's quite chilled especially when you think she's got her baby with her. Because she'd have a right to be nervey. They are so privileged and lucky for that experience.
That could possibly be a once in a lifetime experience, I envy them x
Baby elephant looks so tiny and cute.
Being a wild animal . We should thank God and our Mothers for this Mercy and generosity which God has bestowed in hearts. specially A Mother . May God always protect our Mothers.
Little cute one was curious. And lovely mom protected him💕
