Their species have strong family bonds. Related females stay together for life in a breeding herd. The gestation period for an elephant calf is twenty-two months so baby elephants are a huge investment for the mother and the whole breeding herd.

Her mother was right there but it was difficult for her to rescue her baby from the deep wallow. The baby elephant kept on slipping in the mud as the mother elephant repeatedly attempts to get her out.

The Others Helped

Suddenly, other herd members ran towards the struggling mother and calf. One female elephant joined the mother and in a joint effort, they managed to rescue the baby using their trunks to lift her out of the mud.

The calf took a knock from her mother’s knee in the face by accident while she was rushing to move on. She pulled herself together and ran after her mom. Suddenly she tripped and fell so she quickly got up again and continued running to keep up with the herd.
