Wow elephant twins are extremely rare and even rarer they both survive to adulthood. Hope they both live long and healthy lives
Hopefully that'll be the case
In Lanka, in 2020 and 2021, twin baby elephants were born in the forest and in an orphanage. However, one of the baby elephants born in the forest died after a year.
@@PehesaraStefanFernando oh, that's quite sad. Unfortunately, usually this is what happens 😔
Are they actually twins or two baby's born by two mothers at the same time in the same group?
That running shot is incredible
Wildlife filming is the best thing BBC do, they are (in My opinion) then best at it.
If you haven’t been to Africa to see elephants or any of the magnificent animals - do it. It is truly amazing.
Says the guy who’s never even done it himself ?
The way they take care of their young is so incredible. I bet they get real angry when the bulls start pushing the young around. P
Cant do much though unfortunately. Infanticide is so common in nature typically males commiting Infanticide amongst young over rage or other reasons
@2:22 The shot with 🗻mountain behind is freaking fantastic🤘😝🤘
Why people make comments and ruin it with these stupid face things I'll never know
Those bulls are like clashing tanks
Just looking at the pictures makes me emotional! Can you imagine having the privilege of being close? They are beautiful and majestic!
So lovely animals on our earth 😍♥️!
Yes they are well said
Indeed
This video is absolutely amazing, I hope those twins make it to adulthood.
PHEW!!!...THAT WAS VERY TRAUMATIC AND EMOTIONAL TO WATCH THOSE BABIES CAUGHT IN BETWEEN A HORNY BULL ELEPHANT AND THEIR MOM...THEN HAVING TO RUN FOR THEIR TINY LITTLE LIVES ALSO!!!🐘🐘🐘💜😍🙋🙏👍
It’s very hard to watch. Poor baby elephants. All I wanted to do is get the babies. Lol. Elephant are amazing and must be saved.
Shouting , using cartoon faces and boring us with your emotions Jesus Christ .
How can such a magnificent creature exist on the earth? Just incredible.
Now think about the Creator Allah(God) that created those magnificent creation. In the Quran God says verses of reflection for the one wants to reflect and use his/her intellect. “There is certainly a sign in that for people who pay heed. It is He who made the sea subservient to you so that you can eat fresh flesh from it and bring out from it ornaments to wear. And you see the ships cleaving through it so that you can seek His bounty, and so that perhaps you may show thanks. He cast firmly embedded mountains on the earth so it would not move under you, and rivers, pathways, and landmarks so that perhaps you might be guided. And they are guided by the stars. Is He Who creates like him who does not create? O will you not pay heed?” (Qur’an, 16:10-17) So please people research about Islam the true way of life. That teaches you to only Worship God Alone with no partners and associations. Don't media and Islamophobis scare you from the truth.

One of the most important things a young bull elephant to learn after he has embraced independence is how to behave among other families. He needs to be courteous and respectful so that he's not to be expelled by the matriarch. Or being ignored by the herd. Hopefully these boys will learn from older more experienced males how to behave like men
@@user-ob4sq6fi3s they aren't human lol. Males are chased out because they can get extremely aggressive during musth period where their testosterone rises up to 20 to 60 times the normal, they become unstable crazies. Animals other then humans don't have "respect", "safe space" or "boundary " . A female lions mate immediately with her children killer, while male lions of the pride fight to death to save their offsprings and mating rights.
@@SafavidAfsharid3197 they may not be humans, but in some aspects their behaviour doesn't differ from ours. Young male elephants spend time with other families, as well as bachelor groups after they have left their own family. That way they both get to meet guys their own age, as well as potential mates. If they misbehave, the matriarch is entitled to expell them. Or the entire herd can ignore or ditch them. So, as the animal gets older, he learns how to behave among females and their young, how to distinguish between a female who has recently given birth and a female in oestrus, how to associate with other males (not every occurrence ends up in fighting and bull elephants form long lasting relationships as well) and how to handle himself during musth. Granted, many of these skills are learnt through his personal experience but the presence of adult bulls helps the youngsters in this transition. That's why in areas where adult bull elephants have been exterminated due to poaching, young males are overly active and aggressive.
@@user-ob4sq6fi3santhropormophizing animals as if they're humans is funny lol
I am quite surprised bull elephants can be so harmful to the calves, I am so glad all the female and baby elephants (calves) ran away far for safety xxx
It was the only course of action they could take. If they had stayed, the calves could end up in the middle of a fighting pair of bulls.
Young bull elephants usually become more and more restless within their families. Their rough games can be dangerous for their younger siblings and cousins. That's why (as well as for prevent inbreeding) that they must leave their natal families in their early teens. After they have embraced independence, one of the most important things they need to learn (apart from survival skills, more migrating routes towards food and water as well as fighting technics-all skills provided and taught by older males) is how to behave among other families. They need to learn how to be courteous and respectful (that's why male elephants usually invest a small inspection to females that are not in heat and ignore the calves for the most part) so that they don't get ignored by the herd or expelled by the matriarch
A few kicks is no way near the same level of aggression as other animals like cats when they want to breed. A rival male lion would come in and kill ALL the cubs to force the female lions back into heat again. Nature is cruel, but that's how you ensure your genetics continue.
Thats why bull elephants leave family. During musth males become veey unpredictable and hurt anyone near its a biological phenomenon. They dont mean it but its life
Wow! What an amazing photography 📸.
I guess you'd only realise how big a fully grown bull Elephant is when you are stood facing one and you both are looking at each other.
Love the Male lion,Siberian tiger, Kodiak bear,..but the sight of the Majestic African Bull Elephant with Enormous Tusks... just a sight on another level of Power and Grace!
I love this beautiful giants ❤
That one bull had absolutely massive tusks! I really hope he is the one who breeds, he deserves it.
Yes he is also less aggressive and older than the aggressive bulls
A bull? I thought it was an elephant
@@DaniSlot Older elephant males are typically called “bulls” and older elephant females are typically called “cows”
@@Lord_of_Proboscidea 1:29 male elephant kicked the baby
@tusker Wasn’t the massive tusker that did it
How anyone can slaughter these magnificent and sentient beings is beyond me.
Whats so different from it being a chicken or cow???
Its just another animal.
I dont understand that emotional argument. We humans have killed animals and will continue to do so for a long time. Especially africans kill elephants for meat
🌻🌱🌸✨Exactly.. How Can One Kill Such Magnificent Beings.. The Difference Is Animals Kill For Need, Man Kills For Greed.. While One Species Continues To Live By The Laws Of Nature Doing Their Part To Keep The Cycles Of Life Flowing & Just Being, Man Fights Against It Putting The Entire World At Risk & Animals On The Brink Of Extinction.. The People Like Those In Africa Who Live Among These Beautiful Majestic Animals RESPECT The Animals That Live Among Them, Colonizers & The Ignorant, Self Righteous, Greedy Men Like Ish Rendon Do Not Respect Anything 🙄😒 Elephants Are More Innocent Than You, Records Show 🐘 Will Protect Other Animals From Predators & Will Also Save A HUMANS Life While Putting Themselves In Harms Way, Can You Say The Same?
@@ishrendon6435dude has never heard about endangered species.
I am afraid that a mistake has been made here. Female elephants don't come into oestrus for 3-4 days every 4 years. They do so for 3-4 days every 4 months. However, the time difference between births is 4-5 years. 22 months of gestation period, plus 3 years of breastfeeding and teaching the basic survival skills to her child, before an elephant mother is ready to mate once more
We humans kill and rule over elephants lol 😆 we use guns ans there big size and they cant beat us humans lol a small indigenous african male can kill 10 elephants
@@ishrendon6435lephants are one of the most deadliest animal for humans however. And humans can't do any damage against the elephant actually, even if he is newborn.
@@Quarequehumans nearly poached elephants into extinction.
@@cameronhowe1110 Poached? They are still alive, and even numerous, despite humans want to kill them all at any cost.
@@QuarequeThere were more than 10 million elephants in Africa alone (plus there were more in Asia) just one hundred years ago. Due to human greed, the number of elephants in Africa is now just about 400 thousand. Human greed and cruelty have had devastation impact on elephants and other animals.
I still love Watching this videos keep up the good work 😁😁
1日でも多く，家族と一緒に生き延びて欲しい🐘💕種族の繁栄と幸福を，いつも願っています🍀沢山の愛をありがとう🐘💕✨感謝🌏🐘✨
Majestic, mighty.

C est mon rêve le plus grand de voir des éléphants d'Afrique en vrai et pouvoir si possible leurs donner une caresse
qui qui har ha har ratatouille Paris mon ame.
Yeah, can u imagine hugging an Elephant!
Hello mayou
When you catch a new Niga, trying to talk to your baby mama
Such amazing animals
😍 cuando ...como ¿sales?
What if brontosaurs have a same way?
Those are some nice tusks.
1:38 Bull suddenly got a second trunk lol
King 🐘👑
Nice 😘
I finished watching this episode and christ Atlas had a bit of a rough go
Bummer that we can no longer buy elephant skin boots in the USA. I have to order mine from overseas.
0:27 This is how it means to be majestic
Aaa poor baby, so scared and tired
This is why the British pay their TV licence. You're welcome 🇬🇧✌️
Thanks 🎉
I'm so mad at them bulls but I'm glad the babies are safe.
Why are you mad at the bulls? Take the issue up with who made them the way they are.
Older bulls are not like this
@@Lord_of_Proboscidea most certainly. As the elephant grows older and more experienced, he begins to control his ragging hormones better.
@@LordOfLight exactly. Plus, at least for the moment this was controlled aggression. Any of these bulls could have really injure or even kill the calves and nobody would be able to stop him. But he just wants them out of the way
its Nature. We have aggressive male humans and some less. The animal kingdom has their different temperaments also.
Does one of them have a tusk that's growing the wrong way around?
Yes. The matriarch, if I am not mistaken
@@user-ob4sq6fi3s I wonder how her tusk got like that.
@@beastmaster0934 I think that she was born like this.
💯💯👍👍
I wonder how the tusk of that one elephant got like that to where it curves backwards
He accidentally bent it when he was a child.
🙏❤🌲✌
Can no one talk about the other elephant thaht look like it had a fang
Love it when the calves get kicked and spun around. Was hoping they would get trampled by the bulls.
Blessed be JEHOVAH creator of heaven and Earth. All his works are awe inspiring. I am so glad I taught my children( now real grown) about the Father!
I thought a bull was the female that leads the pack. I guess I have some more learning to do. Obviously you can see difference’s in the genders I need to know the reasoning of the things they do. A lesson to learn. All out of love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Are the adolescent males pushed out of the herd or do they voluntarily leave it?
They usually leave by themselves.
Horse chess piece fallen?
Sheer disgust. I hope I never will be born to a world like this again.
Then you have a lot of growing up to do. Take comfort: you're by no means alone.
@@LordOfLight _"... Then you have a lot of growing up to do. Take comfort: you're by no means alone ..."_ Yeah, Just believe me, I won't be more grown up. But I am happy to leave all these shite to you. Enjoy.

Fuckin sick
The sound effects are awful, why do they add these? Can't we just see the footage by itself.
They add them I guess to give it a more cinematic effect
This looks cartoonish o_0
