It's more the people who buy elephant parts that need to be stopped. The poachers themselves are generally in desperate poverty with no way out. If there wasn't a demand for parts of endangered animals they wouldn't be poaching them.
@@madhavimadhu4824if you truly believe that then you should stop utilizing products and services humans have provided for you. Go live in the wild. Don’t take any man-made supplies with you if humans are so terrible.
Poor thing this is so majestic I wouldn't want no one to get near my dead loved one after something like that either if most humans had the intelligence and passion these elephants have maybe we would get along better and not hurt them by trying to put them in a circus or forcing them to perform for our benefit that's why they dont like us just like a dog can sense someone's true intentions they can too
the visceral sight of a calf's splayed ribs is awful but the most emotional part of this was watching her chase off predators. it serves no evolutionary purpose and if anything her devotion puts her at risk. these are the signs of such high intelligence. what a heartbreaking display of the power of motherhood.
Maybe he was sick ! Or if he was attacked by another animal maybe she did her best to defend her baby but didn’t succeed! Nobody knows how it happened!!!!!
I thought it said the calf was trapped in a hole. If that is the case, the predators were able to get in at the calf and the mother had to remain outside apparently.
Also the knowledge it was stuck in the water hole and it was filmed...how can man bring this to film for the public and doesnt help....dont tell me it is the way of life .I dont agree it is...we can help animals by saving them.i just saw news on the Guardian killing so many elephant for trophies...it is sickk... what joy it is to film a mother's sadness on film when we are told to take care of the plants,animals...oh yes it is GOD'S CREATION AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING TO HONOR AND RESPECT....
She wasn't a very good mother--she failed to keep her calf close and protect it. Her baby was vulnerable and nature eliminated the weak and helpless calf. Only the strong and smart survive.
@@curious5887 "...have empathy on the mother elephant."!!!!! That's called anthropomorphism, you're giving elephants human emotional behaviors. It's just a dead elephant and the supposed "mother" elephant isn't mourning or crying or anything. She's just standing there going, "Hmm, I guess leaving my baby there by herself overnight unprotected got her eaten by the lions and hyenas." Don't worry, the female will just get pregnant again and hopefully figure out how not to have her new baby eaten. This is how NATURE WORKS! It's a jungle out there and only the strong and smart survive. The weak and creatures without the necessary survival INSTINCTS get eaten and die. That's how only the superior genes get passed down and the species survives. This mother elephant probably is on the dumb side of the scale--she is by definition. Her baby was dinner for the hyenas and lions. Which BTW, why aren't you happy for the lions and hyenas? They have to survive and eat, too. They're just as important as that dumb elephant. Baby elephants aren't "cute", they don't have any more value than a lion or hyena. The lions and hyenas got a good fresh meal from eating this baby elephant, that is good! Now shut up and go read a book on biology and evolutionary biology.
@@lonebeagle lol You don't know if it is mourning or learning. It can't communicate anything to you or anyone else, and we don't know what the full story is.
@@erika6651 That's an elephant, not a human being. Mourning is a human emotion and construct, it only exists in humans. Anthropomorphism is when humans give animals human behaviors and emotions. For all we know, that elephant mother is just standing around dumb as a rock trying to figure out why her baby doesn't get up!
Can't leave her baby Her grief is beyond words. RIP baby
Elephants are pregnant for 22 months. No wonder why their bonds are so strong to their babies and families 💕
And Wait To Mate For A another 2 Years
These animals feel so deeply, what a sweetheart that mama is ❤

優しいお母さん🐘沢山の愛をありがとう🐘💕すべての魂に光あれ✨感謝🌏🐘✨
J'ai eu le privilège de les rencontrer dans leur milieu naturel... c'est sans aucun doute mon animal préféré...
Let's protect the 🐘Elephants, please. 🙏🙏🙏

I am so sad for her. Heartbreaking.
Animals have feelings too
Well, of Course i'm crying❣️
How can people kill these beautiful creatures, so intelligent. These poachers need to stop.
Agreed. But I would like to try elephant steak first.
It's not too bad. I'm eating some right now. Give it a shot when you can. @@MrCranketa
I don't think the baby elephant was killed by poachers

Gander Stein thanks. I wonder what kind of marbling we’re talking about.
This really proves just how human like, these majestic animals are.
Better than humans
@@madhavimadhu4824 Agreed!!!
Yes you are right THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN HUMANS

This is so heartbreaking
I don't understand how people can watch something so sad 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔
👍the same as You just watched it🤜🤛 💞 😢 🕊️ 🙏
Its is why we Respect the Cow and Elephant ,true mothers of the Earth

Going in as an animal lover and expecting to cry. Here we go.
So sad. Life and Death cycle. I love Elephants.
Death doesn't break the bonds of heavenly love...it is proved.
Ils sont tellement sensibles et aimant envers leur clan et les nouveaux nés triste de voir .cette sensibilité .😢
Heartbreaking
The mama broken😢
Плачу с ними.
Beautiful
Wow animals are better than humans poor calf
😢😢😢😢😢
Oh my lord, my heart... 😢😢
...my Lord
Truly sad
Im happy..
Elephant gestation is almost 2 yrs. It's not surprising they would be attached to their baby.
Bawling 😭
🙏🙏🙏
How sad!! It brings tears to my heart and eyes...I think about all the babies who had been aborted
She won’t forget it. It won’t be her last calf; Botswana is drowning in pachyderms.
Very strange that the mother now decides to stay by her calf's remains, but where was she when it was alive and being attacked?...
Yeah
Maybe he was sick ! Or if he was attacked by another animal maybe she did her best to defend her baby but didn’t succeed! Nobody knows how it happened!!!!!
Predators love attacking herbivores at night
I thought it said the calf was trapped in a hole. If that is the case, the predators were able to get in at the calf and the mother had to remain outside apparently.
😭😭😭
So sad :(
😢😢😢😢
😢😢😢
Very sad... Poor elephant
Obviously *something* broke the bond between the elephant and her calf if she left it at a water hole all night.
Mantep
RIP the young life, if it was human did the attacked, we should extinct and let other species live on

@@lonebeagle i don't care, i feel sorry for her dead calf, elephant mourn their dead one, and have many evidence for their mourning their dead member
