“She needs a mate.. so she summons one.” Lmao get it queen
🤣🤣💀
cringe
@thezoldics7648😊
Astounding.❤❤❤
Those baby elephants are just adorable.
Yes they are, and their mothers are fierce in their protection, but occasionally, one will get separated from its mother and lions are always ready to cash in on the opportunity for a meal.
Elephants sure are some of the cutest babies, I think.
Serasia haha they are to me 🥰
Yess
I believe adult elephants think the same about people, they think we are cute.
@@keithgifford2386 unfortunately it's not true
Disgusting
So me and my family were at the zoo looking at the elephants and then... The elephants just started mating and my mom just recorded it and said "Once in a life time, kids!". Yeah...
I am confusion
Hello
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That is nice. Your mom didn't turn you away.
{Echo Logic} I agree with your mom 😂 she's right, you don't get to see that many times in your life time or no moments at all. I'd of done the same 😂
Low frequency booty call!
hahhahahahahhahahah
Is the equivalent of "im not looking for relationships or hook ups" tinder bio
The matriarch looked huge until that gigantic bull showed up😀 Then she looked like a sub adult. Long live these magnificent creatures.
Ikkk ! I thought big gur was the male until he actually came I was like 😳😳😳
I thought I was the only one who was floored by the sheer mass of the male!
Almost a baby elephant
Ultimate “u up?” text from the female elephant haha
If
Elephant booty call.
the creator of all of this is remarkable
God is an awesome God
THOMAS Ninan fuck off
Absolutely.
Who directed this series?
@@thomasninan4813Its not God it was the elephants
I'm 8 months pregnant and less angry about how long it takes after finding out they're pregnant for almost 2 years Jesus Christ that's horrible 🤦🏽♀️
Good luck and hope on the delivery if your baby hasn't been born yet.
@@thy_struggling_onyx9293 thank you she's here and she's beautiful ❤❤❤
congratulations
Congratulations
Monique Cruickson just like the mother (I’m not crushing!!)
1:52
When people ask how I manage to get out of bed each morning
LMAO
😆😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol😂🤣🤦♂️🤢
The baby's sound at 0:09 is so adorable 😍😍
Elephants: Best wild animals in the world ❤🐘
- Best parents
- Best herd dynamic
- Best fighters
- Best development
- Best brains
Yes such a beautiful creatures don't deserve to be killed for their tusks, or be used for entertainment in southeast Asian countries.
Protect the elephants 🐘 ❤️ 💙 💜
I mean penguins are the best parents though
@@thomaswilliams5503 SHUT
They are vegetarians..
I love elephants so much ❤ 🐘
How did I end up here? 😂
Elephants are the most loyal animals to their mates. They stay with their young until they reach full maturity, they will surround their calves if a predator is spotted and truthfully to their nature when it comes to their mates, if their mate was to die, the male or female will fall into depression and starve themselves to death. :-(
Penguins?
Kunal Pathak I’m not as sure about penguins, but I believe that the males will protect the younglings while the females are gone hunting for food
Women and male elephants don’t stay together.
@@cameronhowe1110yes. After mating, the bull leaves in search of another female. At most, he'll stick around with his mate for 2-3 days (as long as she's in heat) to prevent other males from mating with her
@@aestheticcruise8807that might be true for lions. He will protect his cubs with his life.
As for penguins, the male incubates the egg for 8 weeks without food and by enduring the brutal winter of the Antarctica. Talk about paternal devotion.
As for the elephants, bulls might not stick around with one particular herd, but they take younger males under their wing, after these young bachelors leave their families. That's why in areas where adult bull elephants have been whipped out by poachers and trophy hunters, young males are often uncontrollable
Bull elephants are giants.
He’s bigger than her. She is dwarfed.
Is it true that male elephants are
bigger than female elephants?
@@donovanweston9323 Yes. The males are twice as big as the females.
did i just watch a sex ed video?
fuckingsad : So pure?
Probably.
And thats were babies come from...
I like that swaggering walk that guy elephant did at 1:55 like "hey here I am girls let's do it chicks" 😁😆😂
Would really be something to see two elephant bulls fighting like that in the wild
wow do female human immune systems also attack sperm? i never knew that lol.
sleepyfish Yes. Since the body can't depict the difference between sperm and harmful bacteria, it attacks both. Only 1-5 sperm get past that stage, usually. The best and strongest out of those make it to the egg, fertilizing it.
The body naturally attacks anything that is foreign. Luckily males produce millions of sperm so it’s always at least a 50/50 chance for fertilization.
@@sickening2879 Im the strongest spermmmm
@@SS-hb1xm lol
it happens in humans too....Any external body entering our body will be attacked...And that's why not every sperm reaches the destination....The optimum sperm count is very madantory because of such reasons
“So she summons one”
/summon mate
😂
Would have rather seen more footage of elephant behavior than this animation which looks like it is from my elementary school sex Ed. class in the 90s
Dam that male is so big and tall 😯
I love everything about Elephant life! That big tusker was so majestic!
Have no idea how anyone could hurt or murder these amazing creatures!
Thank you for this! Yes in 2019 even, lol!
1:59 you mean to tell me this elephant precums😂😂😂eww
"Oh man, i can't wait to get some of that pu- Aaaw, dang it, i did it again!"
@King Brodi u
JB
lol🤣😂🤢😢
No it’s pee lol😊
Elephants are the coolest mammal and animal every!
A calf whose parents are so huge even in elephant terms and so long and beautiful tuska on both parents will sure be a monster with tusks size i cant even imagine .
Nobody
Elephant female: “ *Aye baby you wanna have a baby so I can carry it for two years?* ”
Great video 👌🏾
Cute baby it awesome thank you for sharing your beautiful video love your video thanks. Bless you all thanks
Majestic no other words for them.
2 years......but well worth waiting for....such beautiful animals.It breaks my heart knowing that my great grandchildren may never see a living elephant.♥️🏴🇬🇧
Super majestic!
Great information well understood 👍
0:07 omg she's so cute 😍😍❤️❤️🐘🐘
Hard to wrap my head around just how big these animals get 0_0
This is fun and education about fighting and sex with animal that we can understand with. kids this is how you are born.
Narrator: He literally oozes with the reproductive urges.
Camera man: zooms in on some weird goo on the elephants face.
Me: 😑
It's called musth. Yes, that's a weird word, ha. Mature males have a period of heightened reproductive urge, either seasonally or in response to fertile females. Glands on their face ooze a strong smelling substance and their other secretions are more pungent. Makes them appealing to the ladies and more dominant to the other males.
@@maddison7649 to the best of my knowledge, yes, although twins are not entirely unknown. 🙂
@@jenniferwintz2514 lol witx
@@jenniferwintz2514
It also makes them extremely aggressive.
Whenever you hear about an wild elephant rampaging, it’s usually a bull in musth
The black signs on the sides of the bull's head are a clear display of his active sexual status. These glands usually work and release a black fluid with a strong smell when the animal experiences a strong emotional state (celebrating the birth of a new calf, being reunited with friends and family, or when mourns the loss of loved ones). But in bulls in active sexual status, these glands work into overdrive. That black fluid, as well as a constant dribble of strong smelled urine and his distinctive walking and rumbles advertise his great condition to both potential mates and warn rivals to steer clear from him or face the consequences
1:05 when ur goin to pee but u hear the battle bus horn
Damn that's actually kinda romantic.
She beckons with a low frequency sound that travels quite a distance and a male answers to her call by moving on to find her
When they moved on and left him behind, he looked on as if to say "call me" hahahhahahahah
The elephants use telekinesis to call their lovers 😅 superb❤❤
Not telekinesis. Subsonic communication
why can't humans have ultra low frequency calls, then we could get all the chicks we want ;)
Right now it's dudes
@Triple 334 fax
Ahh the amount of rejections this would lead to.
It sure does go into detail at the beginning
That's amazing..
Once the sperm enters the egg, all others are shut out.
Get it Echo! In her 60s there and still gettin' it OOOONNNNN :)))
And if you were wondering how was I born your answer I’m on the video lol
Then, those cut darling little elephants who do survive, grow up and repeat the cycle.
Dang they are HUGE!!!
OMG ITS JUMBO
Even animals use tinder
Baby elephants and cats are cute
Nice video
@Randomnameezz Dude he was talkin about the sperm lol. It wasn't immature at all. He was making a humourous comment, lighten up. Did you ever take sex ed classes? Sperm "race" their way to the egg, and only the one that makes it (actually now they know the -EGG- actually decide which sperm gets in, not that it's the FIRST sperm to get there) becomes "us". So he was in a sense personifying the sperm. Chillax.
Students who do/did LC Physics or BOTH LC Physics and LC Biology from St. Finian's College Mullingar Co. Westmeath Ireland LOVE African Bush Elephants. They like to discuss the Physics of the African Bush Elephant such as Force, Mass and Momentum
Y'all coulda got that eye bogger for her..
1:45 THE BATTLE!!!!!
God's creation 🙏..
You can summon a mate!?😭😂 BET
Hi
Even an elephant knows the difference between a female and a male!
Baby Elephant 💗
1:14 GIGGITY 😂
In musth, males elephant are very dangerous.
Yes. Which is why is essential to understand the signs and steer clear from them
I be done seen bout everythang, when I see an elephant fly!
@RevyNai fair enough...didn't see that. Probably cause english is not my mother tongue and all I got from that was "elephants humping..giggity"...
He *oozes*
Are you sure the cameraman or crew were shock to see what might happen?
2:39
Krishnakumar Thrissur. Aayilam. Almost correct
1:13 I am coming, big baby 😅😜😍
Narrator: 0:17-0:28
Me narrating: Granny need babies!
The lions: THE F4 IS DAT?? WUT IS DAT???
oh no! poor elephant babies! mommy's doing it with a strange male in front of them!
Okay. That signal wave was too dramatic
200 likes but it's been liek 7 years
Wondering how this is known
So does the female know shes pregnant as soon as fertilization happens?
Stop the automatic caps please
Ahh, I see I'm not the only one here brought by quarantine
Bruh the cameraman is fast asf
Female: "Oh, sweet mystery of life at Last I've found you!"
After which, they both enjoyed a cigarette.
My quistion is:
How did this end up in my recommendation and why did I clicked on it?
I guess I'm here now
Why am I here?
ZACH DAVE
Cream pie!
thank you . can mother elephant have twin babies ??yes or no and why not ?? good show..
Twins are extremely rare in elephants. Only 1% in elephant pregnancies results in twins. And it's almost certain that one of the babies won't make it to adulthood.
This happens for various reasons: twin baby elephants get twice as much space in the womb, drink twice as much milk (a single calf can drink up to 13 liters of milk per day, so imagine how much food and water the mother must consume in order to produce so much milk) and need twice as much care.
So in times when resources are scarce, the pressure of seeing the babies through the drought is twice as great
Sperm swimming is from minochondria .witch passed down from the mother. So why does the fitness sperm matter
Because unhealthy bulls produce sperm of low quality incapable of reaching the egg and fertilise it
❤❤❤❤
Wait so you and other peopke we one the race for life
That was fast!😮
@KimCher91 that's ok its what our ancestors did too....
God made it work for man and animals, no difference, big difference!
Wwe smack down john cena vs rock bottom for page is love XD i shippied
@gadadhoon A university class on sex/sexuality a number of years ago. Not me personally - heard it from my mother and read it in one of her text books. You can find it in a google search fairly easily. Search something like "Egg picks the sperm". Neat stuff... but slow to be taught in schools I guess cause most sex ed videos are the same ones my parents watched
👍🏾
Those are not free wild elephants, look at their eyes, they are being kept in hostage. Look at their eyes, they have been crying alot.
Are you being serious?
@@cameronhowe1110can't you see in their eyes look like he kept on chain nd first time saw a female nd started crying in joy
@Victoriankitsune its all relative. time and what not
@2:00 It looks like his mouth was stitched together.. o3o Although I hope it wasn't..
