I love watching these herds they are fantastic and very intelligent they are such tight families and each one knows it's place they are very protective towards the young ones these seem very calm they are sociable with each other they are fantastic 🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mad cool, indeed! Most of the ellies, shown here, are cows, matriarch/mothers/allomothers (Queens of Africa), and their calves which cah be quickly identified by their comparatively sharp-angled foreheads, whereas the bulls' foreheads are more rounded. The bulls are chased away from their natal herd, at about age 12-13, by the cows.The stand-off, here, is between a smaller grey cow, who ultimately prevailed over the larger brown bull ftom the larger herd..
Excellent video with elephant interactions; I’ve seen just about everything out there like this and all the professional videos and this one is by far the best; showing a long playful standoff between two young males; excellent quality too with picture stability.
I see the 2-3 elephants wrestling with each other as sub-adult bulls, who have been probably just leaving their birth herd.🍀💙🐘🐘💙🍀 The matriarch watched their wrestling closely and disciplined them.
Beautiful to see them in a herd and with access to water, an awful barren looking landscape. They obviously are forced on long journeys for both food and water. They are survivors, they have come this far - hopefully they will continue on and perhaps one day regain greater access to their former foraging ranges as the modern world struggles to end starvation and rebalance the world's insatiable appetite for the Petro chemical energy drink and for the abysmal paranoia of having access to huge deposits of uranium. May the human family find away through without the old ways of murder, exploitation, and domination.

I agree it's wonderful to watch the gentle interaction from such big animals. If on;y us humans could do as well!
You are right
This is mad cool. Looks great on my BIG screen. The meeting of true Kings of Africa. Who needs space aliens when you have Elephants in Africa.❤

That sounds great, I will try and get some more shots with better sound, so I hope you have surround sound to go with that big screen!
Great info thank you, it makes watching these beauties so much more engaging. The nice thing with elephants is they always do things with purpose.
Nice shots, and I really appreciate that you speak low so as not to disturb or scare the elephants. Thank you !
So nice of you, I try to keep it down but its so wonderful to watch I get a bit carried away...

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback, it’s much appreciated. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and found it unique❤️.
She is a very big matriarch 🐘❤️❤️❤️
And she's so beautiful 🎉😂😂❤❤
This is really so beautiful I just love them the babies are just too cute thank you for sharing 🎉🎉😂😂😂😂❤❤
I wouldn't stand in her way for sure.
Welcome, thank you for the kind comment, there has been a lot of babies this year so I am hoping to see more.

Such firm but gentle care.
They are beautiful 😍
What is more beautiful than waking up with elephants at the waterhole! Thank you!
It's a wonderful way to wake up. Thank you.

Good job mate❤❤❤
Wow, well said❣💯
A female of the first herd has a broken ear that hangs down.
It can be rough out there in Etosha.
Why are you whispering?
So as not to disturb or worry the elephants.
Yeah young men are always the troublemakers the same as humans.
Your whispers are distracting
My apologies, I get very excited while game viewing then I didn't want to miss out on the Elephant sounds. Hope you still enjoyed the Elephants.
