Rare day time footage of an elephant preparing to take its first steps. Christian and Ginette Leroy were in the right place at the right time when they captured this amazing event while in Chobi National Park, Botswana. We thank them for sharing it with us and allowing the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to post it online for everyone to enjoy this celebration of life.

Amazing. The excited aunties of all ages and herd status, helping the baby to find its feet. Elephants have a wonderful society, where they seem to work in unity and are all involved in both the birth and death process.
