I love that the lady got in the water fully clothed with no hesitation for the purpose of helping the elephant
My thoughts exactly
I am happy too
We are not supposed to interfere but I would have broken the rule

Elephants are such amazing, loving and compassionate beings. We have so much to learn from these sacred, kind and powerful beings. As a Zimbabwean who has lived around elephants on the shores of Lake Kariba, they have literally changed my life. They are highly skilled in telepathy and can sense another elephant's excitement or distress a great distance away. They like all other animals are deeply sentient, intelligent and affectionate/loving. They have an amazing, spiritual and divine consciousness like whales and dolphins. They help strengthen the energy centres and lines of the land. They too are great Healers. They should be in charge of the Earth and world instead of us humans.
That’s a comment on the International Dog Show: it’s the first time I’ve seen a Pug in a Fullbody wig! It must be a full time job to keep him that fluffy and clean with this mane.
You are lucky to have lived around such magnificent creatures. I wish I could experience that.
Perhaps there is alot to learn about humans, like how to stop greed and encrouching on others property. The elephants don't need to be leaders of all species. Humans already know what to do in terms of right and wrong and like elephants use survival of the fittest. If you notice in the elephant kingdom the world of males and females remains separated, except for courting and mating. Also, the young male is moved out when it respond to musth, or attempts breeding which they aren't allowed to do while living and growing up within a herd of females. So many species could show humans how to be more patient, and co-conspirator's in a positive way.
I can just tell by your wording that you are a deep thinker, and I appreciate you 💜. People like you are so rare, and I'm sure YOU understand :). You're great!!!
I AGREE!
I just love elephants. You can see thru those eyes, highly emotional intelligent animal.
that's your thoughts expectation and feeling, seeing animal eyes is not scientific measurement to proof animal intelligence.
@@baibai3175 who cares. I think what I think. Who tf are you to tell me 😂
I feel the exact same,they are so special
For some reason, all of a sudden I realized just now, that elephants are my favorite animal :)
My favourites have always been the horses and dogs
That first lady seems so nice and good hearted
When I was a child I couldnt say the word ' Elephant ', so I just used to call them en-ten-tents. Although Im more of a big cat guy, I do still like ententents.
❤❤❤❤
okay but why did i start crying when the baby elephants were struggling to get out of the water 🥺😭
Thank you for taking care of these animals. I can’t imagine a world without them. Thank you a million times over.
It sucks that these guys are being abused at zoos and circus, they deserve more love than what we give them
Tôi cũng rất đồng ý với ý kiến của bạn! Nên đưa những chú voi dù ở sở thú hay rạp xiếc thì vẫn tạo điều kiện cho những chú voi có được chút môi trường giông như rừng tự nhiên để có được cuộc sống thoải mái hơn! Thank you!
@@tuyetnguyenbach2270 No its not, they belong in the wild not at fuckin circus or some dirty zoo.
PETA has done so much for them in the US.
That's so nice of them helping the Elephants get their kids to safety.
I admire people who can work with animals comfortably. Such a talent! I want to hug the baby elephant! So Cute! Thank you for sharing these baby elephants! I have enjoyed watching them! 😍😍😍😄😀😄
Try hugging a grisly bear with its cubs so cuddly
@@Robin-rn6ns Ha ha ha ! you're being funny aren't you? I am scared to hug a pony let alone an elephant, and certainly not a grisly bear!
Me too.
@@orlaaaaaaaaaaa 😮😮😮😮😮😮😅
Elephant is such a amazing animal. As a human being we need to takecare of them. Thanks for sharing.
this just shows you how precious these creatures are....
She was more excited than the baby elephant good for her thumbs up.
What majestic animals. Beautiful.
I'd like to give a shout out to the Piano Man himself Billy Joel who has decided for some time now to take a stance to not use elephant/ rinoceros tusks to make piano keys. It typically involves killing the animal. Good for you Billy!
I didn’t know that. Respect. (Rhinos don’t have tusks btw)
@@Lord_of_Proboscidea they do! Depends on the species some of them have one some of them have two and they're quite smaller compared to elephants. But yeah I mean not playing piano on Ivory is definitely challenging but the effort to change is admirable!
@@Lord_of_Proboscidea Rhinos have a horn that's ground up and used in Chinese medicine
@@fortune. you don't need ivory...
Ĺm
Absolutely the best video ever. Magnificent, powerful and intelligent creatures
This just made me so happy 🥲😍😍
A beautiful little walking talking mud pie. I love eles.
Elephant's need worldwide protection!
Elephants are such fascinating creatures and it’s great to share the planet with them!
And it’s a fucking shame that poachers massacre them illegally
Elephants have good memory
Bless you sweet lady. He is gorgeous.🥰
👏🏻 what a wonderful achievement for Mojo❤️❤️❤️
BEST. SPECIES.
I love elephants! They’re definitely my favourite animals.
Me too. I saw my first elephants at 3 years old, I'm now 44 and love them even more and more all the time.
@@carrielopez1728 aww 😊
The elephant looks cute
I love elephants!
I held my breath watching those 3 baby elephants almost drowning in the river. I'm glad they made it back to safety.
I started bawling, I was so worried. I didn't think they would make it. Praise be to God.
omg i was so scared when i send the crocs head like noooooooooo
Oooohhhh BBC you're just wonderful!!!!! You made me cry, laugh, regret, and feel Joy at the very same time!!!!!!
I've never felt terror like I did watching those baby elephants in the river
Had forgotten about the cooperation test. Such awesome creatures :))
With the baby calf celebration you can hear the elephants purring!! Very low rumbling pitch.
i love this video, it really brings out the love for elephants for me. Thank you so much BBC Earth.
we called 'Aana' here in kerala state.. Elephant is our state's animal 🐘
Aana is like a synonym of Kerala :)
@@gokulkrishm51 👍😉
The world can't do anything without Africa. This continent has everything ❤️🌍
Elephants look so alien. Majestic creatures. If I was blind and gained sight most things I imagine would freak me the f out but seeing an elephant would give me a heart attack
Super excellent 👌
This is my moms tab im holding my moms tablet ANYWAY I LIKE ELEPHANTS
Thank BBC earth....
Beautiful little documentary watching Elephants makes me so happy they are so majestic!
Regarding the elephant intelligence test, I think what is really amazing is the elephants are solving a human intelligence test. Lets face it, pulling two ropes together to move a table is something that will never occur in their real world. Begs the question, could we pass an elephant intelligence test, like finding the watering hole 30 years later. And while we acknowledge that elephants are pretty damn smart, the cameraman comments that the elephants don't know where the brand new baby came from, it just appeared. Like elephants would somehow not be able to understand about being pregnant and giving birth. Duh.
Elephants are the most loving, beautiful & intelligent creatures in the wildlife. 😊💜🌸🐘
Well apart from marine mammals like whales and dolphins
What about horses 🐴 🐎 they are very intelligent herbivores
I think that elephants might even be more intelligent than humans (controversial opinion, I know). 🐘
@@hollyhayes9640 I beleve you if they could Speak then less would be Murdered
Just realized crows are the intelligent aves at the sky. I believe 7-year old brain, not 100% sure.
Elephants are proboscideans of the family Elephantidae, there are only six living elephant species within two genera, the six living elephant species are the African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana), the African Forest Elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), the Indian Elephant (Elephas indicus), the Sri Lanka Elephant (Elephas maximus), the Sumatran Elephant (Elephas sumatrensis), and the Bornean Elephant (Elephas borneensis).
Genre. Not genera.
Actually, genera is the official plural word for the word genus.
The beauty and intelligence of these great beasts leaves me in awe and wonder every time I watch! ❤️ 🐘
In 1800 there were an estimated 25 million elephants in Africa. In 1900 there were an estimated 24 million elephants in Africa. About one million were hunted for their ivory. In 2000 there were less then one million elephants in Africa. Today there is and estimated 415 thousand elephants left in Africa. Hunters in Africa need to be hunted before there are no more elephants left in the wild. That goes for rhinoceros as well. There 90% were hunted for their horns.
Totally agree!
💔
30.000 killed in 2023 and at that rate are set for extinction by 2045.
Once he saw the dog in the water, that made it easier for him to enter it. He saw that the water did not harm the dog and the dog was not afraid of it. It's the same when a child is afraid of doing something harmless, and then is able to overcome their fear when they see that the other children are not afraid. They also want to be part of the fun.
Elephant are divine , surely you need to see them in person . They will change you forever
Hello, I am a huge elephant lover from Singapore & I always love baby elephants. 😊💜🌸🐘 The baby elephant is so adorable & beautiful. 💜
Of course I will watch a 40 minute video of just elephants
This is just so amazing
so fascinating and insightful :)
Any fear of water would be short lived. Elephants LOVE to swim.
My favourite animals, I love them so much ❤❤❤
Quelle adorable dame 🎉!
Слонёнок такая милота😘😘😘🙏❤👍
African elephants face significant threats from poaching for their ivory, habitat loss due to human activities, and conflict with humans. I like these types of videos. Thanks for sharing this.
I also love lions & giraffes too. 😊
They are something else ❤
So happy for Mojo!!!
Whoever kills an elephant and call it a "sport" does not deserve to live themself.
Humans are directly affecting the evolution of elephants by ivory poaching. Also directly affecting elephant society and behaviour. Over time the dry grassland turned to lusher pastures because of the elephants' activities - most of which involved using their tusks.
That is depressing but true it’s because of heartless wankers
Ich finde Elephanten so entzückend
we need more humans like this therapist to protect our beloved elephant from evil poacher and evil asia which are responsible for the extinction of our wildlife
the system of exploitation runs far wider than merely asia, and blaming the “third world” while western countries reap the benefit of exploiting natural materials from the land unfortunately creates a ripple effect in local economies to participate as middlemen in order to survive the plague that is capitalism
Much love ❤️❤️❤️We also protect the lives of Asian elephants
You guys are awesome
elephants have a soul. when elephants pass away they go to elephant haven. god loves them like he loves us,
I just 🤍 #ELEPHANTS🐘.
Very interesting and informative~ Thank you for sharing this video~👍
I love this baby, and all elephants
So cute 😭
We must leave alone the nature. Anything we touch disappear.
The Beeb really are getting some beautiful HD footage nowadays, better than ever! \😸/
Elephants sound just like Humpback Whales. The reason there is no Matriarch is? Due to the vileness of poachers. The cruelty of Homo saps, once again. This is so wonderful to see their care & love.
Elephants are people with a different shape.
Be blessed by the divine.
I would like to visit an elephant sanctuary in Africa. 😊💜🌸🐘
Sehr schön 🤠
My cousin has an elephant and now I want one.
It's illegal
@@JB-rl8ki depends on what country you live in
Don’t hold elephants in captivity. The need to be free and in the wild to live a good live.
@@mickymouse2445 unless the nature reserve puts their welfare and need before everything else like Long Leat Safari Park.
I really need to see this today thank you very much for sharing this video it really made me feel a little better
It feels crazy to have this much hope for all of us after seeing this, but Sir Attenborough pretty much brings it... Now how to heal and help our beautiful Earth before it's too late. 💫🌏💙 Peace & light, everyone.
Wild elephant
amazing animals on earth
The Elephants Baptist their babies,
Very interesting
O admirável mundo dos queridos elefantes.. os seus dotes, a sua inteligência, união e pela resiliência ..O espanto asola-nos de forma tão majestosa!! Porque estamos perante Elefantes Majestosos e merece em o nosso respeito apesar das contrariedades humanas continuam a evoluir e nós continuamos com um pensamento de retrocesso civilizacional?! Que espanto de vídeo e os reflexos que em nós nos podemos ver e rever no bem e no mal que fazemos!Não podemos perder de todo?!?
Its annoying how the dudes are talking like the elephants understand what he is saying and they arent trying to get out of their situation.
She really went into the water with a white suit
Xem đoạn voi con chèo mãi k lên được trên bờ vì tron trượt buồn cười thật! Những con voi con may nhờ có cả đàn bảo vệ nếu k rất dễ gặp nguy hiểm!
So cute!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
