Baby elephant slips

[maggieeb001]

Fricken awsome, this shows they have feelings and are not just mindless animals ,

[ThatguyNice]

Just another reason why I HATE f'ing poachers, who would wipe out every one of these magnificent creatures for some damn ivory statures for idiots to display on their coffee tables. *sigh*

[7mikethebike]

I wonder if the noise was to discourage crocodiles

[freddythecanine]

humans suck

[vanillavsa]

my god that sounded like a blood bath

[LLNWonderland]

[LoveStormyNights]

[acw02]

[Jamaicanchocolate34]

[Icaenea]

That single snort at 1:04 = elephant-talk for "Dumb-ass kid..."

[19Tranc3r92]

[Kristy7881]

Awhss..</3 poor elephant..D =

[NotADood]

It looked like he broke his leg. It was bent all weird.

[scrubjay93]

@NotADood I see where he did get into a pretty awkward pose there, but he looked okay :)

[Oldskooljessica]

The video description is over stating. Boring as batshit.

[matt90951]

lmao i laughed so hard. everytime i watch it i laugh~

[Oldskooljessica]

@matt90951 that's because you are a 14 year old fuckwit.

[matt90951]

LMFAO

[hello123456789101]

Notice in 0:37 the mother spits out her water, presumably in panic.

[Ellidoraellidora]

Wow, I wished my mum was as nurturing and loving as these elephant mums! They love their babies something fierce.

[MCHIBullDog]

poor little baby.

[imhatepie]

OH MY GOD U GAIS ITS A BIG DEAL!!!!!

[wildtehilde]

oh so cute and all the family help him....

[hothotheat3000]

They are very smart animals. They go through depression and even grieve when an elephant in the herd dies. Baby elephants who lose their parents are known to have aggression issues similar to people dealing with post-traumatic stress. It's amazing how people write animals off as just animals, but they can feel just as deeply as we do. Just because they don't talk like us doesn't mean they don't feel like us.

[Whitehawk3000]

Well said.

[pavitradasi]

@hothotheat3000 so stop eating them then!

[SyNFuLCreations]

@hothotheat3000 Plus elephants are some of the only wild animals on earth that have a sense of self.

[akateb71489]

Aw, they were so worried! At least that's what I assume.

Elephants are hands down my favorite of any animal.

[1tahoesky]

They were likely worried about an alligator coming up...

[elephantwomen]

mine 22!!

[1425Stephen]

good thing the elephant saves the baby elephant

[PestoTheGoodfeather]

Elephants rule!

[paisabombom2133]

[effinyeah]

[NightmaresLover]

Its so beautiful how the mother pushes the baby back into the ground. Such amazing creatures ^^

[kelperdude]

He was pushed! He was pushed! Okay....not really........

[evillttlimp]

heh.. .they're all like AHHHHH CRAP!!!

I love elephants.

[cKekati]

Elephants are very smart and have a sense of "family"

[bdriz16]

That's why elephants kick ass.

[victoryzone123]

oh my goodness !!! poor littbe baby slipped and fell in the water... what a lovely mother, she was right there to help and pull him out. Thank you Jesus. Did you see all the other aunts were there to help ??  it takes a village...

[boo1312]

The baby was like "Hey mom, it was an accident, I wasn't fooling around."

[guiliomcewan]

thats so sweet i think elephants are amazing animals

[everjim]

elephants are amazingly clever. watch The secret life of elephants. on a Wed 9pm its great

[luthmhor]

I was scared he might break his leg for a second there. I guess the parents fear was very real, i can bet that elephants often get stuck badly in the mud in lake areas like that, cuz they are so heavy. THey cant jump in to rescue them either cuz they'd get stuck! Not to mention im sure a croc could grab the elephant if it were a river.

[Sps2006]

he wasn't getting a scolding, it was an alarm saying baby overboard

[Shigmato]

LOL

[tsarita]

I think all that racket was the baby getting a scolding. so cute!

[xxxLilMzpurrfectxxx]

wow, i never knew elephants where so responsive and protective. 10/10 for supermum!!

[The878709]

me too

[tinenefs]

Aww....The mom was so quick to the rescue.

[seidymex]

OMG!!! Poor cute baby!, look at his tiny little leg stuck!!

[airrick16]

elephants are so protective lol

[BadMommy4U]

I love Pete's Pond. Thank you Nat Geo for giving the World such a gift!
