Elephants are supposed to be very intelligent about social relationships. So why is this baby Asian elephant, surrounded by its mother and a large group of adults, screaming at the top of its lungs? What's going on? When you recognize every individual, a curious story unfolds. Find out what's happening on our blog at wp.me/p14eqM-6Z. Happy Mother's Day!
The baby found his mother and is drinking mom’s milk. He/she was hungry 😋. He was looking around before looking for the mom and finally found her!! That’s what babies do!
I pray these beautiful animals will live in peace 🙏
Fascinating how all infants are equipped with the loudest set of lungs when they are hungry. Can't be ignored. I remember my own tiny infant could produce an incredible wail out of those 3 ounce lungs.
I find it rather annoying.
it’s annoying and precious 🥺
I do love it when the baby elephants 🐘 run, and yes it sooooo cute, they are so precious ❤💖
IKR!
how much faster would they run after being shot with a frozen paint ball? Asking for a friend…
Elephant mothers don’t immediately feed a baby being very noisy because the noise attracts predators. None of the elephants are patient with him because of his noise. A baby that has lost his mother basically faces death so the babies panic easily. It is windy so baby cannot find his mother by scent. Nor can he find her by touch. Elephants have very poor eyesight and babies are born almost blind. He runs to elephants he dimly sees but cannot tell if it’s his mother. After he finally finds his mother as she approaches him, the family circles around in protection and try to calm him, but he is too angry and is satisfied only by nursing. An older sibling stands watch while he nurses. So NOT a tantrum. Just a panicked baby who had lost his rather tardy mother.
Спасибо за объяснение. Мама действительно запоздала. 😥. Бедный Эллик. Бросила его. Он так кричал. Бедный растерянный элефантик 😢😢😢. Он так бегал и кричал 😭
OK, baby elephants running is one of the cutest things ever!
IKR!!
The baby elephant really enjoying milk.
Mama was probably away getting her groove on.
Mama was probably away getting her groove on.

It looks like after that second kick he runs to Mom to tell her Who all was being mean to her!! Lol cuteee
This is hilarious. So smol, so full of anger 😍😍😍
She was hungry.His Momma's tits looks empty.And the older sister is hanging around and suckle Mom's milk/ May be it is why. Give hime to suckle , they (little ellies) usually calm down.!
He was hungry.
The reason is simple: the baby was just hungry! "Everyone is eating but not me. It's unfair!"

Fascinating video of family unit. Hungry confused baby. I think too big of a sis getting milk displaced hungry infant. Then herd tried to say "stop crying you'll attract predators ". Infant still hungry so they surrounded him to comfort until mom arrived. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO.
The matriarch does not want the babies attracting predators, either.
Omg! He calmed down a little after getting “spanked” He acted up again and they all came over and huddled him, awww he wanted to eat!! These elephants 🐘 are so unbelievable! Love ❤️ them 🥰❤️🙏😊😳
That wasn't a spanking, that was knockdown.

Many thanks to your good manners while filming this.
Poor baby just wanted his Mums milk and her older baby was taking it’ look he’s happy now.❤❤❤
The older baby needs it 2
This is just fascinating. I’ve also heard of accounts of mother bears picking up their cubs with by the scruff of their necks (like mother cats) & shaking them when they’re being naughty. It gives one such a profound sense of connection to see parents of other species dealing with the same issues we have.
I love elephants
I felt so sad for the little one. I hope it really was the baby missing it's mother or being hungry and not having any pain or feeling bad
Nope, no need to worry haha! According to the blog in the description, mum knew exactly where the baby was and he had been nursing just prior to this (and got to nurse after). Mom was just trying to enjoy her lunch and this baby was causing a ruckus 😂 he okay.
Ge was calling for his mom! ♥️
He wants mothers attention butno one is paying attention and fathers are alwYs strict
He was hungry/And have a close look at Momma's tits/THey a not full of milk! Looks like the elder sister of the baby suckled a lot!
There’s a link in the description that explains what was happening. The mom wasn’t actually far away from the baby at all. The mom has just mastered the art of selective hearing...Once she realized she could no longer ignore her baby anymore she came and comforted her baby.
Baby was hungry/That is it! And needed TLC. Momma was ignorant. And the older sister was hanging around a baby calf. Mom's tits look empty! They a not full of milk.
ignoring your baby is very crucial.
I find it interesting how they discipline them, they have no qualms of kicking them, or knocking them to the ground. It's like they're letting them know that there are repercussions if they act out.

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ it when they disciple the wretched calves. They’re so annoying .
Only males do this. It's aggressive behaviour, not discipline. The calf got too close and annoyed him. The only time you see females being violent towards calves is usually right after birth if it was under traumatic circumstances, such as in very poor quality captivity. Otherwise, their discipline is much gentler than what you saw here.
@@MoogieSRO they need more males! The calves are quite annoying.
@@MoogieSRO Ok, this is good to know, I am researching for a book on write on elephants, so their behavior patterns are important. I have heard stories of some of the females acting aggressively after birth; sometimes it ends up with the calf getting killed, other times people are able to intervene and get the calf out of that situation.
They’ll put up with none of that. Baby doesn’t like the wind and sand, but Mama has the comfort food, lol.
Baby elephant: where is my milk button? I WANT MILK BUTTON!!! WHERE IS MY MAMA...
Poor fella, he wanted a drink 🐘💚🍼🍼🍼😂😂😂💚💚💚
lol so cute when it was running i couldn't stop laughing.i bet it dont go away from mom again when its close to meal time.it was trying to get anyone to feed it.lol
Poor Hungry n confused baby😥 Finally got mumma...
sim,fiquei triste por ele
He lost his mom and was so scared!
Just like a 2yr old. Mother amazing know exactly how to tell him it's not on, there is nothing with you. Too sweet 😋 Lovely sighting
Imagine the screeching it'll make when the time comes to be weaned.
Baby was hungry...no one would stand still..
he's just a very hungry calf
Poor little baby was scared and wanted mama. He probably got overwhelmed with so many unfamiliar elephants and got confused. Like a kid lost in a store.
It’s amazing how they loosen their food with their feet!
Lol so cute having a tantrum cause it couldn’t have mums milk
Бедный малыш! Захотел кушать, а его отпинали( Как хорошо, что он нашел маму и смог покушать.
Строжайшая иерархия у слоновьего стада.Матриархат. Мама малыша. видимо первородка. Потеряла свою ляльку.А ОН голодный.Это мальчик.
Goes to show you discipline is a good thing. Human parents would do well to learn this.
Amen to that!
I enjoyed this video. Baby calf elephant just needs momma love!
Wow! Amazing video with a story and a great blog post! Thank you for sharing! ❤🙏
Was this elephant calf searching for its mother ? Yes, without a doubt...Little cows do the same when they are hungry.
Apparently he had just fed prior to this fit too (article in description). Mom was very close by just enjoying her lunch. Baby elephants are know to throw tantrums. 🤷♀️
😂 His mad dash across the plains was hysterical
Baby elephant crying-trumpeting 4 mama. Baby must b hungry
I don't like it when the baby gets knocked down
I ❤️ it
But baby got right back up...Baby ellie a tough cookie
She wasn’t knocked down that hard. If the larger Ellie wanted to hurt him/her she would’ve . Wasn’t too hard on baby, shocked him I’m sure! Ha
Poor baby was in distress! That was probably big sis or cousin who kicked and knocked him down. Poor thing! Glad he found mommy.
Apparently he had fed just before this and his mom was always just of frame. She was trying to enjoy lunch too and he wanted to go start some nonsense 😂 They aren't going to cause them lethal damage lol. He was just being a rotten baby.
Маленький, иди на ручки к мамочке ❤️🐘😍 когда он бегал и кричал в панике, ища маму, у меня аж сердце сжалось 😢 Такой растерянный и беспомощный 😥. Что же мама не уследила за крошкой
I think he’s lost his mommie
That lil baby, can run...!!!😂😂😂
After reading the description on your blog, maybe the baby got disoriented or confused when the other herd joined up. Since the dynamics changed, she didn’t have her normal caretakers and the caretaking she was used to and it might have upset her. There’s another video on YT of an older calf pitching a fit when another herd joins up. She goes on an absolute rampage for 10 - 15 minutes, bush-bashing, knocking tops off of termite mounds, didn’t want anyone near her, lol. In that instance, though, it was surmised that she was used to being mama’s main helper with her little brother, and she felt less important with the other herd about. They are such interesting creatures, sharing so many human characteristics.
I remember that video. She was on a rampage!
Where can I watch that video??
@@Ricenoodles80 Here it is: m.kzhead.info/sun/irqDdK-mgYChoKM/bejne.html. It starts with mama, baby brother and big sister and then the herd joins up. At 4:51, one touches baby brother with its trunk to say hello, and big sister pushes them away, lol. Sis starts her tantruming at 7:05 - grabs a branch and hollers and she goes on from there. It’s hilarious, I hope you enjoy it.
@@Ricenoodles80 It's on KZhead. I believe that it is an old Wild Earth Video. Used to be Safari2011AVV I think...
This NOT worth watching, if I have 2 c baby elephants stumped & starved
All the screaming, annoying the herd because calf was hungry. 🤭🐘
@Gayatri Sahu Thanks for correcting.
Why did mom hit the baby with her trunk?
3:58 I didn't know an elephant that old could still suckle; so she's feeding two of her own.
I hope he is OK and not hurt or in pain !!!
God bless you all your life.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Очень жалко крошечного слоника, когда он плачет, у меня болит сердце, рада, что все хорошо закончилось, здоровья семье слонов
Looking at all the bear terrain behind them makes me think there isn't enough for them to eat.
That youth elephant did not have 2 back kick it & hit it w/ it's trunk smashing baby elephant 2 the ground. I never knew a baby elephant could trumpet that loud & long. It must really b hungry.
It’s called nature
Probably was an older sibling or cousin attempting to discipline.
The baby elephant being kicked is so pitiful. That elephant is too damnable
Shhhh! I love these videos, but I don't know what's worse, the whispering or when people or laughing, clapping and yelling.
Hay bebé hermoso! 🐘❤️❤️Jaja solo quería leche y la hermana mayor no le dejaba tomar hasta que al final le hicieron caso y lo consintieron! Que hermosos son me encanta la inteligencia, gentileza y respeto que imponen los elefantes, son seres hermosos 🐘🤭😁❤️
I believe elephants enjoy helping humans & enjoy entertaining people. They like being useful w/ no abuse.
Baby scared hungry and looking for its mom for comfort big elephant that hit baby Elle was from another herd any elephants from the any elephants herd they can smell and recognize them for the rest of their life 🐘💕elephants are sooo simple complicated and beautiful all at the same time ❤️🐘
Elephant knocked it down so hard, it got the wind knocked out. It was trying 2 tattle tell. That was not it's mum. Instead baby decided2LATCHon & eat as much as it could--yum yum good-super delicious! How dare that BIG elephant try 2 suc Kel, while tiny baby is nursing. Baby did not deserve 2b backed kick. I think that was a matriarch that ran 2 baby & put her TRUNK around baby. Notice after that mum nursed the baby. I don't like that teen elephant. Its big enough 2 forage.
Well they say ellies are gentle giants. I guess not all are. Big meany
Do you think the mother has stopped producing milk or ducts are blocked etc? At end of video, it looks like the baby tries to nurse, then backs a way and there is a space between their open mouth, then tries again and same thing?
Cute baby sounds 😂😂😂🐘😘😘😘
Потерялся, ищет маму
It told the matriarch that "her back-kicked me".
😮Wow i had no idea elephants could use their vocal chords like that!!! Crazy❤ thank you
Aren't they all just beautiful ☺️❤️❤️❤️
It seems this elephants hardly have any food. They look like the are trying to dig very short grips of grass. And there's BIG patches of no vegetation. They need to be moved to greener fuller vegetation. Poor baby looking for his mama. 💕
This is their normal habitat that they’ve thrived in for millions of years. Notice they’re all very plump and healthy. There is no need to “move” them anywhere.🙄 Elephants are nomadic anyway so they “move” themselves when needed.
@@jamesmorrison2055 if you think this is their normal habitat, you don't know a lot about elephants do you?
@@alison__16 So why don’t you illuminate us with all your knowledge? I’m pretty positive many groups of elephants are native to grasslands, which this clearly is.
The baby was scared couldn’t find it’s mom it’s herd m happy he she is happy now 😊they’re sooo beautiful special 🐘
Lol auntie, momma, sister idk but they wasn't playing anymore at 2:31! ❤
When the little one has temper tantrums, they shout louder than the biggest adult.
Naughty ones are every were....he/she is like the little one of the combined family. Should be treated like a common property, but ultimately within the trunk of his/her's mother...but there will be cousins who will act little wierd (but with love) as shown in the video....but in the bottom line all the aunts will take care of every thing: Indian concept.
She’s probably thinking he’s acting like his father. Just ignore him.
Which one is the mom?
por favor fala porque ele está estressado.
Baby hungry
Was he PISSED a bigger one was feeding on his mum I'm confused why he wasn't allowed to feed
Can the babies nurse from any female that's producing milk?
Oh my goodness!! Having a tantrum. Needs mama!!
Don’t blame him with people too close- he’s terrified!😢
Si que me he reído del tremendo planchazo que le han dado al malcriado 😅
It's interesting how baby ellies have the most godawful caterwaul ever! Human babies are loud and persistent but not horrifying..🤭
💕😘 love elephants
Wow I never saw anything like this
Quisiera saber " que es lo recogen del suelo " ?
Same here🤭I’m wondering what they are eating🥹
That was an adolescent elephant I think, who did the kicking. I read that a 2 yo male smells of honey.
y did other calf get kicked nd knocked dwn
gee, I wish human mums would discipline their kids when they play up in shops...these ele mums have the right idea for a cantankerous child. lol
Depends on your perspective...Baby was in distress - in my humble opinion - and was not in need of 'disciplining' : Thankful you were not my mother.
@@karenwoodruff4384 Very well said, Karen! ...and poor little baby!
Cute tiny 🐘elephant call😢 mom so many elephants tiny small elephant mind found out🥰😘 wow god gift 🐘elephants 🙏🙏🙏
She knock him down. He shut up
Or maybe he’s trying to scare the elephants!
Typical baby wanting to be fed!!
Ohhh poor baby he just won't his mommy he could find her he won't some milk they didn't have to kick him like that so mean his just a baby who couldn't find his mommy 😮😢❤🎉
Nada melhor do que a nossa casa.
The first baby elephant was likely hungry and mom was too busy caring for herself. The second baby threw a tantrum because mommy was letting big sister nurse and elephants really only produce enough milk for one baby. The big sister should have been turned away. Mommy caught up with her youngest at the end to let them nurse. This is really kind of sad because that one elephant obviously doesn't care for young ones and shows it by kicking out at them. Most babies have several allomothers they can go to for comfort.
@@Beth-ds3mj very sad...
It's a lot of walking for tired babies!
.... There was a lesson both ways : the one which kicked him twice ... Too much power , beware , she was blocked by " the rescue team " . As for the little one , being put back in its place , as it should be , but protected .... Lessons learned !! 😔
What exactly are elephants doing with their feet? I see that in all videos. Like sort of digging. That cute little baby was looking for attention. 🥰
Yes ignore the bad behavior & reward the good
There doesn’t seem to be a lot of food for these elephants
Слонята самые красивые😘😘😘
