When you realize an elephant's social life is better than yours
@@johnmp1470 Plus, an elephant can finish his sentences.
They've got to be among the most magnificent animals alive and with very good reason. So majestic and intelligent.
When you realize this girl believes she is more valuable to the planet than an elephant. :(
@@keepingitsimple88 When you realize this person values the life of an animal over the life of a living, breathing, human being with thoughts and emotions.
@@lostinsauce4515 Animals are more emotionally intelligent and peaceful for that matter in humans.
Like a group of aunties storming to see the new baby.
Underrated af comment
Omg so true ....😂😂
Get the cigarettes out
How dare you! My aunts are way fatter then those elephants
That's exactly what it is.
This is absolutely precious, how from the other end of the area they went “Omg there’s a new baby in there!” and just LEGGED IT all the way over
literally us everytime someone from the office on maternity leave comes back to visit with their new baby
Yes, that's what happened in the video I just saw, thanks for describing it.
legged it such an Irish term
Is Zeus you're personal God belief
@@holliswilliams8426 - I would say the same thing unsarcastically. It's interesting to see how different people describe what they see, plus this comment was funny.
Herd treats an rescued elephant as their own family member. Family dynamics of an Elephant is far better than human.
For future reference: I could have easy watched another 10 minutes of that
ME too!
Chelle Copley me too. That was amazing.
Me too.
You could always watch it in slow motion.
Absolutely
Title: *Elephants Run* Elephants: *Powerwalk like middle aged neighborhood women*
True, elephants are to heavy for real running, like middle aged neighborhood women...
@I everybody gangsta until you got one chargin at you
Those creatures on the ground who can't get away fast enough...🐢🐌 hope they make it to animal Heaven... 😇
@Kalevipoeg They can only sprint with 25 mph (40 km/h) for a very short distance like 50 m. It's enough to get you when they are close enough but with a head start of 100 m they will probably never catch up to a meduim trained human over a km or two... And even thise speeds aren't technically running because at least 1 foot is always on the ground ;)
@@user-bl4oq7fd8d every form of running involves at least 1 foot on the ground.
"It's a new baby! RUN!!!" So excited, like a whole pack of proud Grandmas. That was so sweet.
😊
As wholesome and sweet as this is, can we all just acknowledge that one of the adults stole a whole branch of leaves from the baby after saying hello? 0:52
Said “OooOoo, snacks!”😩😅 We all have a family member like that. Except ours bring tupperware and old country crock containers to take food home.
Lol.
That's the Initiation fee lol
😂
We call them uncles ágbàyà
the elephant recording the whole thing needs more practise...
🤣🤣🤣
LMAO 😂😂 I lost it. Hahahaha
Quality :-)
ahahhahahahah
LOL LO LOL thanks for the laugh!!!
Baby Elephant: hello, I am confused and small Elephant Herd: HUG THE BABY!!
Lol
👍🥰💖💖💖
Oh how sweet.😀😀😀🥂🍌🍍
♥️🙏
I didn't think I could love elephants even more than I already do... I was wrong! Okay, now what do I do about this lump in my throat, and why am I smiling AND crying at the same time??
Elephants are highly intelligent and incredibly sensitive and emotional beings. They actually GRIEVE even worse than we do when we lose someone we love :( and they hold elephant funerals!!! They deserve to be together always with their loved ones and NEVER being isolated and alone!! Ever
Amen. ❤️
You are so right. I love elephants. They are amazing. ❤🐘🐘❤
@becibooable1 They could probably spell better that you.
@becibooable1 , then do some research. They are.
@becibooable1 weak bait
Its amazing that elephants will actually adopt orphan calves. They seem quite aware of their situation and are quick to accept new comers.
It's actually not that rare among many species unless resources are really tight.
Actually they usually eat them.
@A man with Silver Tongue That's a matter of choice you fascist barbarian, each elephant is an individual..
Elephants when they see a newbie: *ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!*
Gooble gobble ❤️🐘
@@infinitejest441 you’re absolutely right ❤️❤️
We accept him, We accept him ;)
just like dogs.
Freaks?
"Hello baby! You lost your mom? Don't be afraid! We are your family now!"
let it out of the cage *instantly get mauled by the herd haha
That’s passive aggressive to say the least.
I was thinking along that same line..my thought was "oh,hey,we have a new family member..let's all go say hello" :D
Ragimund VonWallat That’s some dark humor.
Low IQ comment
Elephants are a very emotional species. You can definitely see excitement, curiosity and desire to embrace the little edition.
Ch❤❤
*addition
Every elephant in the sanctuary: this is our baby now
Fun facts: the “growling” in the vid is a happy sound, it’s a sound they make when they are contented, the squeaking one are curiosity.
Thanks for the info.. I thought they were kind being protecting mood or something with that growling sound...
Oh so it's them doing that!? Sounded like they had a Tyrannosaur somewhere in the park :P
@@kriddius they actually used that elephant noise for the T-rex in Jurassic Park IT'S AWESOME
I growl when curious and squeek when happy
I thought it was some big cats near the camera man . Didn't know elephants growled .😕
Fun fact: elephants flap their ears to express excitement and joy. :)
Like dogs wagging their tails?
That’s Asian elephants specifically. When African elephants flap their ears it means they’re about to charge. An important distinction to remember.
When American elephants flap their ears it means they are about to fly.
What about when humans flap their ears? What does that signify?
@@iggy082 that signifies that you're unfortunately related to Barack Obama.
Elephants are very intelligent and emotional beautiful creatures of Nature, such as all species. 🙏🙏🙏💌💌💌💌 Luckily there are people that try to protect them.
Their lovely rumbles are just music to the ears. The joy is so contagious!
I swear I've heard those noises in Jurassic Park or something.
Elephants use infrasound to communicate over great distances. It's thought that dinosaurs had this capability as well. You are not wrong.
@@schrodingerssquirrel6973 _"Elephant Pulls Prank"_ is good too, they're even practical jokers.
Elephants are the best, I will never understand how anyone can kill or mistreat these magnificent animals.
Because they are prey
@@tylerdunn9683 only prey for lions and even then lion rarely attack elephants
@@tylerdunn9683 stand in the savannahs and so are you
Dangerna The same way people commit infanticide: *ignore the cries and make the blood flow no matter how much they struggle.* You know, because if you give humans the benefit of the doubt, they’ll ALWAYS let you down. *_A L W A Y S ._*

It was 7 million 2 weeks ago?.. 8.7 million now lol
And, their baby instantly has a new friend her age awwww
What wonderful creatures elephants are. They ran over to see the baby. They were serious. I love them so.
All of the elephants touching him with their trunks like “Oh, he’s so cute! He’s such a cutie!” 😭😭😭
when they touch it ,they do it to say wellcome ,usually it happen when mother come with the new born...
@@MrLiviooo one of the baby elephant was smiling in the last
Like my aunts when I visite after a year
No they were tasting him, they gonna eat him later
Calm the heck down
"Your work is done Humans. We'll take it from here".
👍 they are smart and humble
This comment made me tear up Idk why. Very beautiful and true though
@Traci Nelson What? I mean, that could be. But how would you possibly know what they were thinking? Bit presumptuous, don't you think?
@Traci Nelson Anglo Saxons are blood isreal jews? What the fuck? Do you really expect me to have a discussion about elephants with you after that outburst? You are obviously not right in your mind. Get help. Please.
Yes. You nailed it.
My absolute favorite wild animals.
I have my Sony headphones on....the sound they make? The rumble is absolutely beautiful in my ears. What an absolute treasure to be on this earth with them. Gratitude 🙏🙏🙏♥️

Great, now I got the Thundercats theme song in my head.
Thank you and me too.

They are absolutely so beautiful, it’s a shame that parts of the world kills these loving creatures for their tusk, they truly exhibit true love and affection amd even sadness. Thank you Lord for these amazing loving animals. God bless all
_"You gotta see the baby!"_ - *Shout out to all the Seinfeld fans out there*
At least this baby is cute! LOL
Maybe the Dingo ate yo baby....
Breathtaking
Aha! I needed a good excuse to re watch Seinfeld!
You never need an excuse to rewatch Seinfeld!
look how they run protecting the small one in the middle of them
That's a herd mentality. You put the babies in the center and the moms circle them so predators can't attack. It's really fascinating how they do stuff like that.
It’s also scary how fast the moms can demolish things they deem as threats.
@@isaiahdobesh5109 Considering the human mom I had, it's not that surprising.

They're all so excited to meet the newcomer.That little one is going to have so many aunties and cousins looking out fir it and welcoming it.Elephants are so nuturing.A very special sense of community
I will never understand how anyone can hurt one of these creatures.
Money. Also the main reason they are in danger is because of habitat destruction. Other issues certainly don’t help, but the humans expanding into other habitats for whatever reason is the main problem for endangered species.
Humans hurt each other .. So how is that so hard to understand?? If humans will hurt their own, then of course they will hurt other creatures ..
besides the awful poachers out there killing them, there are also a lot of them around the world used a simple beasts of burden that are abused by people.

Elephants make me so happy. I love that when they’re running they keep the little one in between them
Yeah, but when the little one realized he had another friend to play with, he was all over that cage, literally pushing everyone out of his way.
Is that why you are as big as an elephant!? Fat jokes are funny. What's not funny is dying in your sins and without Jesus Christ than burning in hell fire.

Lmao you trolls get dumber all the time.Not sure what you’re trying to accomplish here.Elephants make me happy...So what?
A new member of the herd has arrived! 😊
I've watched this video several times because it's so heartwarming. Too bad people don't learn anything from animals. Elephants are a treasure!
These creatures are the pride of our planet. How can anyone ever do them wrong?
because we are the shame of our planet... gods greatest fault ever...
@@seelenwinter6662 is that how you sleep at night wah wah wah gods fault LMAO if you walk this earth at least have the balls to take the responsibility we EACH have in the destruction of the Earth! Mother Earth loves me and I'm not ashamed. I pick up trash I'll feed the birds and animals i walk lightly upon her. Shame is for the wasteful and greedy and that is NOT all of us!
@@Gio-dv2xc yeah tell that to the 94% Marine life that are now extinct and the 87% Land animals that are extinct!
@@Gio-dv2xc I've clearly stated I honor and respect her and would never try to destroy her so don't suggest that to me. I agree in the sense that we will be wiped out! I am defensive of her as there are humans whose actions are destroying everything on it. Don't get me started on the plants and trees. Geo engineering has got to stop. FAA is spraying aluminum borium and stratanophrium to cloud seed and make it rain. Humans now destroy natural weather. Monsanto has their hand in every seed in the plant kingdom making them genetically modified. I agree with you that mother earth will not be completely destroyed before Creator steps in but I'm PISSED the FUCK OFF on how Mother Earth is treated!!!
@@MiaEZ So, there you go - you got all defensive about your litter picking and then go on to expound on why humans suck. The very house you live in and the roads you drive on were once another creature's habitat. Nah, you are as complicit as the rest of us.
They just instantly love the new baby & I noticed ALL the adults protect the babies even if they're not the parent. I really love elephants!
That's actually quite natural even in the wild. Usually elephant groups are close family members, but even strangers step in when they join a herd. Gives the babies a better survival chance. This group is used to not having close relatives so to them a new baby belongs to everyone.
Wildebeests should observe and take note.
And help out when one is in trouble
@@iananderson3799 in a disney cartoon maybe, not in real life though.
Yeah, its funny to see the aunts and uncle bully the kids sometimes. Makes em tough er sumthin
That is absolutely amazing. Elephants have so much love towards each other.
What majestic creatures. They have a love for each other that many humans don’t have for their own kind.
I love the baby's greetings with his tiny voice. A magnificent sight seeing the elders coming to see him
A little cute squeaky trumpet noise that just melts your heart.
That was the best. What beautiful animals they are.

They sure care about each other!! I love Elephants hope they're around for a long time. South Australia ❤️
If only humans could be as welcoming as these wonderful giants the world would just be heaven on earth !
They've adopted him faster than we humans could spell "adoption". A, D, O, P, ... (elephants already making noises of joy, happiness, love and family bonding).
Now humans can learn from this process. End FETICIDE: end the homicide of God's children, the unborn baby boys and girls, let the fathers have rights, give the unborn babies a legal right to life, and let the siblings grow up with their brothers & sisters. Pray to end feticide/ abortion. Pray to end the merciless killing of God's wildlife as well. Freedom of speech & press USA copyrighted.
@Dawson Davis No I think feticide is never the unborn babies' choice/s , it is extremely painful to be ripped apart while alive , or injected , burned wth saline solution (acid), there are many loving parents who would adopt all of these babies and always remember this: NO ONE ABORTED YOU!!! You had your legal rights to life! Freedom of speech & press USA copyrighted
@Dawson Davis I do not understand your logic, thus no one aborted you, in the natural scheme of things, not one living creature God created would terminate a pregnancy & use sex strictly for pleasure with no intent of procreation. All unborn babies need & deserve a legal right to life, you got your legal right to life, now it's the unborn babies' legal right. People should get STERLIZED if they want to use sex as a 'fun' & pleasurable ride, but NO unborn BABY should pay the price of 2 people screwing for fun!!! freedom of speech & press USA copyrighted
@Dawson Davis After being born NOT before.. so I stand my ground on this one.
@Dawson Davis Have you watched the movie 'Silent Scream?' I suggest you do so, I guess those who kill will answer to God, yes males often kill another males offsrping, it is not so advisable for a woman to date a new man and bring him around her children around a new man either... If you read about the lady USED to get abortion legal, she regrets her decideions and the doctor used her in that respect, have you ever met a woman who regrets aborting her child/ children, the fathers of these unborn babies have no legal rights to their own child/children, let alone no rights to the unborn baby boys and girls, so you say these babies to not feel pain? I do believe if nerves are present it is painful to be murdered alive, also a womb is a safe haven for the unborn (should be legally). Have you ever known anyone who died young and had that person's partner not aborted his child a part of him would still live on?
That baby’s prospects for a happy, full life just hit the stratosphere. Talk about instant, unconditional love. That was absolutely beautiful❤️

Watched a documentary when elephant herds pass by a skull of their kind they rub their trunks against it.. They have good hearts
Elephants mourn the loss of a family member, and will return to their remains. An elephant never forgets.
Le Weirdos. Years ago, I read that they visit an elephant graveyard where old ones go to die. They are wonderful creatures with a better sense of family than many of have.
Yeah i saw that too and it was awesome
I think I watched the samething. They would morn after the remains of their own kind. Funny thought I had the other day ANIMALS dont have pockets....LOL They only carry whats in their belly. They own NOTHING.... BUT YET LIVE FREE.
@@lanceguranovich6299 I heard someone recently discredit that by saying they go to that land because their teeth are so worn down that they can only eat food in that area that is soft

It’s like a baby shower. Everyone wants to see the new baby!😊
Except that there is no baby at an actual baby shower... Cz it is held in d third trimester 😅

Works different where I live. More flexible. People have them whenever and some prefer to have them after the baby is born in case there’s potential health problems or so out of town guests can actually see the baby

BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE when they are VOCAL and the SOUNDS they make.
I was going to say that that baby's arrival and greeting reminded me of the early days when Maggie the elephant had been transferred from the Alaska Zoo to California. Unfortunately, when I checked I found that Maggie died less than two weeks ago, at the age of 41. When Maggie was new to the California preserve there were so many people watching the live cam that it froze. So sad to see a beloved elephant leave us, but so happy to see a new baby being greeted with the same enthusiasm.
I love them all reaching through to reach him! It's like they're saying "OH LOOK HOW CUTE! Look how small his feet are, and his little tail! Oh, there's his teeny trunk!! He's so perfect!!" They're already completely in love with him.
Its been proven that Elephants brains believe Humans are "Cute" like how we process seeing Puppies.
Ikr? They are so adorable greeting him 😍
It's really touching their family sense! 💙
🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶❤😺🕶💥💥🕵💊🎺
I know huh? Their to cute goin to see the new little one to greet him or her...I smiled and teared up a lil cuz how nice an sweet they are😊
I love how they keep their current little one safely between two adults as they run to greet a new baby :) Gotta love the elephant dedication to family - blood or otherwise!
tinker heck - when there's trouble, the way they "circle the wagons" around the young.... very beautiful.
Yes! I remember seeing that on PBS Nature many years ago - and I never forgot it!

Elephants have so much warmth, integrity and love within them. I loved watching the little baby run with the adults to go greet the new arrival that was cuteness galore. I love it when people treat animals with kindness and respect. Thank you for being so admirable.

The baby running with the adults to see the newest member of their “family” was my favorite part too. The excitement was felt by them and us.
right. Some animals will abandon their own children if they lose contact or see it interact with another species, like yellowstone buffalo. Good to see elephants are cool tho
I love the little chirps they make.
They sound kind of like seals, right?
Ted Trager They do! It's so adorable.
The low-pitched growl sounds more like a T-Rex.

Debbie Sides can u see my face or a red S? I just updated it and I can't see it
Reminds me of a grocery store where a little kid will say "mommy" and every mom turns around. The adult elephants don't have tusks so they must be women. Maybe it was crying for its mamma.

Elephants are truly beautiful and majestic creatures. 🥰 This had me touched to tears, and elephants are among my favorite animals. That gentle touch with the trunks, is just so cute! The adult elephants are so careful with the new baby elephant. Every elephant deserves love and happy lives, as well as other animals. So loving, so sweet, and they have the biggest hearts. I think that baby elephant just got himself/herself a new family. 😍 Too adorable! 💝🐘🐘💝
They are so loving, caring and accepting! ❤🐘❤ I wish humans were like that!
So cute ...welcome in your new family little angel
Prinzessin Nicoletta, Elephant killings are down but still too high. Major effort underway to keep China and others from seeking ivory.
These are Asian elephants. They're also going extinct due to man. If you google wild asian elephants you'll come up with very few videos. It's due to the tourism industry. Unsustainable numbers of baby elephants are being stolen from the wild, broken and forced to perform for tourists visiting across Asia. A third die from the process.
Prinzesstin Nicoletta a
NYYBBTeam readkkhgfoqobbvtvgfeyĺk
+Emily Ann You forgot to mention that the thieves kill the calf's elephant family herd to steal them, and that that is what is decimating the Asian elephant's numbers in the wild. You must remember to mention that. For every calf stolen from the wild, the thieves kill 4-6 larger elephants. It is primarily this that is wiping out Asian elephants in the wild. Elephants do not reproduce well in tortured captivity, so the vile elephant tourism businesses buy stolen calves, knowing or not knowing that they came from the wild. It is the elephant tourism business that is largely feeding the demand for calves, such that they've become the Cause for elephant extinction in the wild. Whether in the wild or in captivity, elephants simply cannot keep up with Man's slaughter rate of elephants. Extinction is thus guaranteed, UNLESS tourists refuse to feed money into the elephant tourism businesses, forcing them to do work that doesn't rely on elephants. So long as they rely on elephants, they'll continue to buy stolen calves, and thieves will continue to kill elephant herds.
Every time I see elephants interacting with one another, I am struck by just how intelligent these animals are. They have facial expressions. They have culture. They have little societies. I think, so long as they aren't pushed to extinction, we are going to learn in the coming years that the elephant is far more intelligent than we ever even dreamed it was. You can just SEE the intelligence in their eyes. It's remarkable.
I mean, we already know for a fact that elephants are the one of the most intelligent animals on Earth, only humans (and maybe some types of dolphins/whales) are smarter. Elephants only have a trunk which makes it harder to use tools; otherwise, they would almost certainly have used tools already. They even seem to show slight signs of being religious in the way they treat dead elephants. Elephants have no trouble surviving in their natural habitat as long as humans don't interfere. I hope humans can keep their hands off them so that elephants can do their thing; they don't need any support as long as we don't ruin them or their neighbourhood directly.
All animals have feelings. All animals feel pain. Even fish, cows, chicken, lamb....see where I'm going with this?
So maternal, too.
@Eurypema I never said it was a "criterion for intelligence". It was an observation I made that you can see the intelligence that they have through their facial expressions. I have seen a baby elephant change its expression from sad to interested when she was bored and lonely and her trainer or whatever approached to give her a bath. And then at one point you see her expression change again from happy to mischievous when she decides to play a prank on him and knock the water bucket over onto his head. I mean it sounds like I'm describing a child but this was an elephant doing this. It's remarkable.
Well its gotta be time for some elephant rock n roll? Elephant playing piano whilst another twerks? kzhead.info/sun/fLGCh6lqn6SvjZs/bejne.html Or some elephant art? kzhead.info/sun/qN2pec6XeYuwdK8/bejne.html Yep - I'd buy that! Beautiful animals....

Elephants are unbelievably sensitive, emotional,and incredible animals, and one of my very favourites. I don’t get how people can do what they do to them. Or sharks. Or pit bulls. It seriously breaks my heart in a torturous way.
Me too - exactly
@@dr.elizabeth9715 I don't think elephants have a problem with sharks 😆. Just joking. Man is the biggest predator in all creation.
One can only pray that the same thing happens to the humans. In spades.
My best explanations would be ignorance and/or lack of empathy. There are those among us who don't realize elephants are intelligent creatures, as well as those who don't care about the grief they might feel. These people probably don't treat their fellow humans any better.
@@allenwatkins4972 that’s just as ignorant as saying you hope this continues to happen to the animals. I’m guessing if it was happening to you or people you care about your opinion would change very fast. Sickening mentality.
When you open up a pack of gum in class
I can’t get over your picture! 😆
Even at work lol
meaning?
😂🤦🏾♀️
Katie Did 🤦♀️
They were literally charging like “baby baby baby baby! Where is the baby? We are going to meet a baby! There is going to be a new baby in our herd hurray!” And after they see it: “baby... we are giving you the herd hello, by touching you lovingly with our trunks so that you know that you are one of us... Also you are adorable!”
+Jackie Rocha Gee...thanks so much for that insightful recap. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to harvesting these ivory tusks.
Brat.
lol made me laugh
fuck u mrgeneric
ty 4 the save)
That is the sweetest thing ever!
Elephant baby makes squeaking sound. Me: *Bursts in to tears*
This is why I love this bit of dialogue from the show The Blacklist: Raymond 'Red' Reddington : [looking for information from Wendigo's gunsmith] Would you look at that? .416 Rigby Mauser. [Red takes a rifle off the wall, checks the bolt, and laughs to himself] Raymond 'Red' Reddington : And fully loaded, no less. An African bull elephant weights 14,000 pounds, and this can bring one down. I happened upon one of those magnificent creatures in the Zambezi valley, and one of these came in quite handy. Elizabeth Keen : You shot an elephant? Raymond 'Red' Reddington : Lord, no. [Red aims the rifle at the gunsmith] Raymond 'Red' Reddington : I shot the poacher that was about to kill the elephant.
I thought the elephant sharted
Reds a Hero
I felt the ultimate sense of fear when the herd was bolting toward the cameraman
😂
LOL, me too. After all, an adult elephant weights 5 tons.
Same I was like, that camera man is behind a fence right? But nope that guy is just crazyyy
@@luismenezes8261 They can also generate several thousand Newton's of force while whipping their trunks like a club.
Rachel Marie Old joke that young people would not understand - How do you stop an elephant stampede? Call trunks and reverse the charge!
They love the babies
Thank you for no music. Thank you for the elephants and their lovely sounds. So loving.
"No child left behind" ...elephant style. Wonderful.
I've seen an elephant leaving her child behind in a dry desert like environment cause it couldn't keep up with the herd.... stop romanticizing nature; it's cruel as fuck.
@@laziojohnny79 when child become older they need to pratice being alone.
@@businesshorse16yearsago19 ah! So being left behind too f-ing die is just training huh. Silly me ...
@@laziojohnny79 maybe the child was abt to die due to the dry environment and the mother couldn’t do anything about it so it left it there and said it’s goodbyes, i dont really know man i just saw a video of it.
@@synth2181 No no, it was because it was insecure bout it's gender, wanted to dye it's hair purple, got offended 100 times a day and thought socialism would be a need experiment for the herd..... so the herd said fuck off.
It’s amazing to me how such a huge animal can be so gentle.
Elephants need to learn how to be careful. For a smaller creature, just falling down is a minor inconvenience. One wrong step for an elephant and they could be crippled, which would leave them to slowly starve to death if the predators didn't get them now that they're vulnerable. So learning to be cautious and gentle is just part of how they come up.
Maybe that's why most of big humans are also shy and gentle because they need to be careful? Maybe... 'Cause I know someone who is very tall and he is sooo shy, he speaks so quiet, that I every time I need to say to him to speak louder that I can understand what he is saying. He is that shy.
Aww
Have you heard of chihuahuas?
StrangeStuff22 that is the polar opposite of what I’m talking about lol
Even after years of watching this I'm filled with joy watching such a warm welcome to the new kid on the block. So heartwarming, we could all use some of that love
Wish humans were as kind to one another. Elephants are more humane than we are.
For thousands of years elephants have been so abused. Its refreshing to see the wonderful that is helping these majestic animals.
They still are
I wish people would leave them and rhinos alone. I hate that organization that tranqs rhinos and chop their horns off to “save” them it’s like your taking their natural defense mechanism away how are they going to defend against predators
We literally have to lock them away in preserves so they can live somewhat normal lives. Away from poachers. God damn shame.
IAmaPersion at least they're safe there
@@ajscrewu well I mean there's basically no reason for hunters to kill elephants or rhinos who have no horns. Also other than themselves they can't really be challenged Lions hyenas etc. Maybe hippos too.
This is all the women at the office everytime someone brings in a baby!
100% agree. When I'm at work and someone brings in a baby, all the women in the office will leave their cubicles to surround the baby.
HAHAHA!!!! You're absolutely right!!! We are pulled by nature and happiness to go see that baby!!!! Never thought of it being like "elephants"......but it is SO DARNED THE SAME THING!!!! LOL :D
Or cake
Totally agree with this
Or a puppy!
Look how they are touching it so gently. I just ❤ these animals
😭 OMG that's so wonderful !! Elephants are truly magnificent,
"We've come to see the child."
