[fmh654]

stop china they are poaching elephants for ivory

[hollybee43]

Yaaay I love happy endings :)

[adamca12]

obviously the little elephant dosnt realize his trunk is a snorkel

[patrickgpking]

Great footage, would have preferred a less sensationalist narrator.

[zeppelinfanatic100]

Did they reunite with the rest of their Elephant family?? Oh please I have to know!

[GoodSonOfGod]

Lucky Calf & Mother!!!!!!!!!

[lvbrftdrvng]

is she driving the land rover barefoot ?

[persianmetallover91]

i thought elephants were good swimmers

[charlieisgone]

They almost made oscar winning drama ,with elephant winning Best actress in a lead role award

[brujaderio]

I am amazed by the intellience of the mom...breaking up the current! I wouldn't have thought of that and I have a "human" brain"

[veggiewarriors]

we really overestimate ourselves, don't we?

[grandmasterreggae]

@brujaderio Try getting an elephant to do long division.

[brujaderio]

@grandmasterreggae Ha! Ha! Ask most of the 4th graders now to do it. Half can do geometry and the others are still counting on their fingers.

[grandmasterreggae]

@brujaderio The fact that they could count on their fingers alone makes them mentally superior to an elephant, apart from the fact that they have fingers and opposable thumbs.

[forevertruth1206]

@grandmasterreggae They're smart enough that they don't need all that shit.

[Bucketheadhead]

Will there be a Big Cat Week this year?

[charlieisgone]

Why dont she carry her baby with her trunk?

[my2ratties]

Maybe she needs to breath thru it?

[jims10101]

poor baby elephant

its so small

[S4NT1IE]

my heart was skipping beats...

[ShueArie]

I cant beleive the amount of moronic comments made re this video... Well done Saba and BBC, thank you for a great video clip. :)

[serialarchitect]

I didn't understand why the other members of the elephants' group abandoned the mother with her youngs...

[prettypurrlove]

tugs your heartstrings, this video....

[takeshimiyagi]

stupid mother elephant not the baby!

[mrYouliang]

Is it normal that my eyes are watery ?

[saker110]

stupid baby

[jonezysan]

This lady does however sorta bother me.

[lushwhip]

i thought this was going to be a really heartbreaking video. I'm glad it wasn't.

[defygravity1215]

thank God! i almost cried!

[Luminari21]

touching

[unnst]

ah leave the animals alone, I don't think they care about this lady stalking them everywhere.

[popspie]

i thought i saw some hungry african on the other side, waiting with fork and knife in hands for the free, delicious elephant calf meal

[rhysini]

well filmed

[stevolution666]

or hollow it out with their tusks and make a canoe

[phillieredphil]

[alekrhindress]

[stephster575]

[sweetypie000]

why not put it in a trunk to ferry it across?

:)

[calvintoronto]

hahahahahahahaha!!!

oh my....hahahahahahhaaaa!!! I needed a laugh today...good one!!! hahahahahahhaaa.....

[sweetypie000]

nice but it's sad to know we are only watching them alive because they are worth more that way otherwise we would hear a crack of a poachers gun :(

[9thprotocol]

elephants serve no purpose on this planet other than to eat trees and shit...they should all be shot and turned into fertiliser..at least that way they will make a contribution

[calvintoronto]

Well, one might say that about humans, except they eat everything in sight and shit, and they produce waaaaay more shit than elephants.

Take a look at the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement web site. Join today! :)

[stevolution666]

then how is it that you justify humans?

[moonbeam001]

So much love and unity being shown there..

[RossWildish]

Aww bless glad they made it

[benvidshunt]

the people who are claiming its boring or wished the calf 2 drown, havnt gne through pubity yet. or have no respect for animals or wildlife. dont bother given them the attention they dont dessurve.

[v1eTsOuLx]

who gives a shiet, it's just a stupid elephant

[SJRNWT]

Obviously you give a shit, or at least a little turd if you watched this video.

[ChrisIsATM]

You sick fuck

[saker110]

The baby made it.Wat a baby

[LiquidTornadoBlog]

Okay, seriously, it's not fictional little girl. Grow up before you start using the internet.

[XxSadisticWraithxX]

Thats awesome!! Awesome the baby made it!! And to those dumb immature people who said it should have drowned? I'm going to take you and throw you in the river thats past your head and see if you make it across without your mommy. Shut the fuck up.

[drav1dan]

May be elephants aren't as smart as we think. Three adult elephants could have together carried that baby across easily.

[johnross456]

With their fingers? Maybe you aren't as smart as we think.

[mandychaplin]

i was thinking that, the baby could have held on to its mothers tail? i've seen that done before. xx

[stickymanmasta]

She wanted the elephant to die. When they turned back in her head she said "Fuck elephant go back and drown yourself". When they were going across she was going "Drown! drown! drown!" When she seen that they made it she said "FUCK!!!!"

[RomydeJesus]

Gracias!

Romy

[KENNYWIZE]

[kungFuGirl01]

omg I ALMOST CRIED

[TGMLive]

[hamlin351]

that woman must love elephants so much to be able to do absolutly nothing:D

[newyorker744]

lol

[mintoffel2]

erm she obviously cant do tht

she cant interfere the nature wildlife.

[hamlin351]

how come?

[Lachaud11]

Survival of the fittest

Natural process of evolution

It probably happens allthe time

Elephants would run awy or attack her

Theres like a million reasons
