I hope this little beauty pulled through and is thriving. Many orphaned baby elephants, even on the rare occasion of human intervention, do not survive. Huge numbers of adult elephants are illegally poached and the calves soon die in the wild, or are caged by villagers who have no knowledge of caring for these highly intelligent and social beasts; the calves almost always die. This scenario is common for infant gorillas as well. God bless the people who help these animals.

This baby elephant was rejected by its mom and family and then strangers try to help her. but she guards herself from the possibility of getting hurt/rejected again..

Like a human baby pushing someone by hand, she pushes the other elephant's trunk away! Cute.
