Baby Elephant Falls, then Mother Falls

The large, male, bull elephants usually dominate the watering hole. On this rare occasion, only one male elephant was present, so a group of females and several babies swoop in to get a quick drink before any more males arrive. When they first arrive, a baby briefly falls in the trench. Then, a minute or two later, the male bull pushes his way in. He upsets a couple of females, one of which falls. (Note: The rather annoying commentary in the background comes courtesy of some fellow safari guests from New Jersey.)

elephants are so cool.

Pretty sure that the elephant who fell broke the tip off of its left tusk. You can hear it snap, and see it's obviously a bit shorter at 5:28.

Why is there a manmade step in the middle of an elephant watering hole? Why can't we just give them a natural place without our construction nonsense in their way?
