There is something magical and beautiful when you observe elephants. It touches your soul and pulls at your heartstrings.
Like humans, elephants create bonds that last a lifetime; they are capable of showing emotions from love to anger. Elephants are very protective of their young: in times of a threat, the family will close ranks and the young are pushed to the middle, loud calls will be trumpeted, and ears will flap as the herd protect the most vulnerable. In this situation, a bull elephant was trying to separate the baby from its mother.
A shriek from the newborn elephant and instantly all the herd surrounded the baby, reaching out their trunks to reassure the newborn that it was safe and secure, creating a bond of love that will last forever.
