Elephants struggle to save clumsy calf

When a tiny calf tumbles into a waterhole at South Africa’s Madikwe Game Reserve, chaos ensues. The herd rallies together to help the mother as she struggles to rescue her distressed baby, but with time running out, their inexperience gets in the way.

Both the elephants display very complex emotions. The mother is panicking, and with her maternal instincts kicked in, is not allowing the bigger elephant to get any closer to the baby. The bigger elephant is getting angry looking at the baby shivering and the mom not doing enough to help the baby. In fact, it is the larger elephant who gets into the water and pushes the baby out finally, in spite of the confused mom trying to block her.
