- So much was going on at this waterhole! Hippo playing with a crocodile. Then this tiny newborn elephant and its mum seemingly rejected by their herd. However, this video focuses on what happens when this tiny calf slips into the waterhole.
Mum almost leaves. Then becomes protective against the hippos. Not to forget the slip and sliding this tiny one does before finally getting out.

I'm so happy the baby is safe. Brave mama protected her baby so bravely.
No other animal could've swum through those hippos like that. The way they protect they look out for their babies is amazing.
I mean.. Besides them looking out for the baby, it's an Elephant dude.. Hippos are chihuahuas when it comes to the elephant lol
Great Mommy Elephant !!
@@donnawolman150 Nothing can stop a protecting mom.
Слоны умны,
The elephant rules the jungle..
All of the mamas seem quiet around the little ones.
I read yesterday that when the female and baby herd walks, their pace is as fast as that of the smallest baby!
They are such awesome mothers! We should take more example from them.
Patience and unconditional love, and more patience.
yes, yes, yes, we should learn a whole lot more from these awesome animals they are so intelligent so big but ive never seen more gentle sweet creatures and they are the very best mothers, they along with aunties and grandmothers they all take it to raise the little ones, we humans leave our babies to the mother alone and no one can raise a baby alone without absolutely be so tired and some cant take it, we should definitely learn from them how to raise babies for sure
@@CristinaF210 Are you joking? Humans can learn something from animals about how to raise babies?? HAHAHA, oh boy, now I've heard everything. Getting all gushy over a TH-cam video has made your brain switch off.
Elephants are so amazing. To see Mama protecting the little one from the Hippo and then making sure this cute little baby was safely out of the water was so fantastic. Stunning footage.
babette\\\\\\ what about the hippo mother protecting her calf from the psycho killer elephant...its more likely an elephant attack than a hippo , anytime.
gabriel hebert Yes, it could be either/or, both would be concerned for their young. Glad it turned out o k for all.
Ok did you even check before you uploaded this on youtube kids whatever loughing at the poor baby elephants you are guilty as this people that are loughing
Love how the baby's tail sticks out of the water like a little flag. Wonderful mama for moving those hippos out of the way, getting her baby out of the water.!!
Слоны умны очень
There is nothing like a Mother's love 💕😘💕 all babies are protected by moms Who will die for it may God forever Bless her
So happy that you care. Thank you.
It's amazing that the mother Elephant is even aware of this. That shows how intelligent animals are
So huge, patient, gentle, and fiercely protective. I live her patience
Humans learn!!
Seeing elephants staying in a heard together and being there for each other is the sweetest thing ever! They are so compassionate.
That's.the.only.way.to.survive.together.
so I've herd.
Love elephant's
Elephant's are smart
That's how people should be
I don't think that the group realized that baby was in trouble when it first fell into the water. It was great to see baby finally navigate it's way back to the bank and to watch mom keep her leg positioned to help keep baby from sliding back into the water. Baby ellie is just the cutest little thing ever.
Great Mom!
Thanks
😊
Elephants are amazing
They share their habitat with other animals so it must be pretty normal, baby is learning
Hatts off to that elephant mom!! The way she is protecting her baby..may God bless the baby elephant and the mom and protect them from hazards!!
GOOD JOB MAMA!!! THOSE HIPPOS ARE NOT TO BE MESSED WITH!!!
what incredible animals, so caring & compassionate. I hate seeing them in any distress 😮
We people have lots to learn from this MAGNIFICIENT being ....see the patience the gentle touch every now and then ....she let the baby frolick as long as he wanted and then v gently helped him come out !
Yes, I noticed that.
Mama protecting her baby from the hippos, so heart warming.👍
Love the way momma protected her cute little baby....very nice and gentle mom...and cutest baby ♥️
I agree
....I was too afraid for the calf when I saw those hippos in the water 🤦♂️ ....big ups to the mother elephant 👏👏👏
I am so happy that the little elephant finally made it.
Baby elephant is lucky to have such a mom
I was so proud to see that newborn elephant wade across that deep pond so confidently until he/she got to the other end. Bravo, little one!!💪💪👍👍
How beautifully this video shows the mother elephant allowing its calf to enjoy and frolic in the pond, prods it to get up and walk without lifting it, even if it means leaving its herd, is simply amazing and watchworthy!!!
Thanks for that
That baby LOVES the water. Didn't want ti leave...and mum didn't mind the extra time in the water either. Beautiful to watch
Glad you enjoyed it. We felt honored to experience it in real life.
The little one was having the best time playing in the water. Watched a second time to focus on Momma. As suspected, she knew where those hippos were the entire time. She knew when they crossed the "red line" and they did too. You could see it in their eye muscles. Baby learned a lot with that interaction. Fun to watch and fun to disect.Thank you for sharing!
The baby had a hard time getting out of the water
She's a great mother❤🙏
Little baby wanted a drink, too. The adults have protective instincts, sometimes others in the herd also save the babies from harm. Close call. Majestic, and stunning video.
What an amazing mother. 🐘
What a faithful mother !!
Amazing mom! All the other elephants left, her baby wanted to play in the water.. She was so patient.. Pretended she was calm around the hippos, until they got too close, she said " touch my baby, and you have to mess with angry, big me "
Beautiful elephant mom. Hope those two will be safe together as long as they live.
I wonder... Why did dad elephant, not stay behind with them, when all the others left..??
Anyway... Bye 👋 ❤
Male elephants don't stay around with the females and calves.
@@catherinebell2403 As many men do...
Paul begley
The bulls don't often travel with calves and females.... unless one of them are ready to mate & then he might try and kill the calf.
I've now watched this at least five times. Makes you feel so good when baby makes back on dry ground. 😊
Yes, a mother’s love is awesome.
However, since 1973, 70 million of the most innocent among us have been murdered by abortion. The manner of deaths
is always grisly.
Most of these women say that they were coerced into this
“ solution.”
I wish that we could all learn from the elephant mothers.
Most animal mothers will do
anything to save their children.
In fact, mama tigers are known to be ferocious big cats.
Most animals have no desire to provoke a tiger mom.
I was so worried about the tiny baby until the end..and the baby was such a mischief.. wanted to get in water again..such a naughty tiny guy..😘😘
Incredible they way she attacked those hippos..gosh I was worrying the wee one was going to drown..she knows how to look after her baby....💕🐘

That baby Eli didn’t want to come out of the water he wanted to play. When the matriarch tried to get him out he ran the other way. The mother then got in and tried to coax the little fella out. Such a beautiful mother too. Those students didn’t realise he was in any danger
Thanks
She was not leaving her baby under any circumstances and it appears as though she would fight Satan for her baby. That's a very devoted mama
This was such a treat to watch, thankyou so much! Adorable baby and a very attentive caring mum!
Calf was so tired after that. Good push little buddy!
Such a patient mother....
Beautiful animals, we must look after them.
Agreed.
Mum has more compassion than the stupid people laughing.
No shit
kids are the silliest creators on earth.
And you have no compassion to people that makes you stupid too
I
Ikr. Of course they would not understand. They got no life, no feelings. And the only thing that makes them happy is suffering. You know?
Lucky baby to have such a good Mummy! 🤗💖🍀🌈🇨🇦
AFRICA at it's best!!!
Great mommy... baby is so tiny but so sweetly confident...
Sentient beings...
God truly makes AMAZING ANIMALS! Thank you dear God.
You're welcome, Precious Human.
I have never seen a mama elephant protecting her baby from hippos. Wow. Such precious footage! Even hippos got intimidated in shallow water like this by a gentle giant mama. It was very nerve wrecking to see the baby in the water. He had hard time getting out of water 💦 , he kept slipping at the end and my heart was racing. Thank goodness he was able to get out. The elephant isn’t even two months old. Less than a month old, it didn’t look that different from new born elephants I’ve seen. Very tiny yet so resilient. ❤
The baby still has his umbilical cord attached.He is 1 day old !!!A newborn...Hippos were after him definetely
Poor little baby :( thank God she made it out safely
Is it really a "she"?
I'm so happy the tiny baby 👶 😭 💓 🐘 got out of the water with moms 👩 help
I ❤❤❤🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘 Soooooo much.. God bless these beautiful innocent animals.. 🙏🙏🙏
Who else is surprised such a young baby elephant knows how to swim?🐘
I am surprised. ...
@@hellybrown9699 Not at all surprised - human babies can swim as well.
Almost every animal knows how to swim. And as Larry said, so do we!
@@larrybarnes1794 Human babies can not swim 🤣🤣🤣
Most animals , but not all animals are born knowing how to swim, bulldogs and human beings .
The kids started out laughing until they realized the baby could be in trouble. We all breathed a sigh of relief when the baby got out. What a great mommy elephant!🙂
Jane LaShure ... hun, the baby was never in danger. Just like the child that takes its first steps and stumbles, mama or papa scoops them up, until the next mishap, lol
I didn't think the baby was but it was wonderful that the students started cheering for the baby!
Jane LaShure ...Dear, from your original comment, it appears that you believed the little one to be in danger. The children were able to perceive that there was little danger. I believe that they were cheering on the special love and bond between a parent and child. Kids tend to be more optimistic, unlike us sometimes pessimistic adults, lol
Rebecca LaVoy
Have you any idea how condescending you sound, when commenting to @Jane LaSure ?
@@Deborah-kz1bv I'm sure she does and I'm sure it was intended to be....what she doesn't have any idea of is how all of us reading it actually perceive her. The irony of the comments from the person that speaks the language and is able to tell us what the kids were saying...and the fact that Jane was right....HILARIOUS! What's scary is to think of someone actually SPEAKING like that, could you imagine someone actually saying "hun" and "dear" to your face...Can't you just imagine the tone in the voice...I honestly think I would start cracking up right there on the spot.
It's so kind when some of the elephants help the baby get out while people in the bus are laughing
What'd you expect the people in the bus to do? If they had tried helping it the Mother would have trampled them to death!! Duh
Elephants take care of one another, how gentle is the mother when pushing him up
I'm in love with elephants!♡!
The mom is protecting the baby from the hippos, who can be very aggressive and dangerous protecting their territory.
Yeah I was like, "Wait...wait what is a hippo doing there? Oh no, there's another one. what about baby elephant?" Thank goodness everything was okay
Hippos being nosey mama not playing that confusing baby 🍼 nice video ❤️🐘🐘🐘
@@amyill9280 what?
@@isuckateverything3066 what?
This just made my day ..Thank you 😊
I think some humans should take note of the love , tender care this beautiful creature gave her baby ..
Blessings and lv and light to all..x
Amazing mum didn't give up though the troop went ahead their journey.mums love like no other💓👍
I knew that mama wasn't going to quit until she got her baby out. They are more like us than we know. Just beautiful!*
carol in\\\\\ more like YOU maybe....speak for yourself please will you? many of us do not share your delusion ! **
gabriel hebert
You sound like a self serving, apathetic and
obnoxious individual.
They are so cute so nice ,how can human be sooo cruel to kill this beautiful animal😭
Agreed!
I love when elephants are out of danger and mama is charging on with baby behind and its like she is saying, 'now you do that again and you are grounded for a week'
So precious!
A mother's love is everlasting
04:21 -That's the moment, right there. As vicious as hippos are, even they know: Don't mess w/elephants.
Hell yes! Hippos are nasty animals in every regard, and I hold elephants in the highest regard. I like to see the elephants showing any hippo who's boss!
@@Notfunnysam same hippos piss me off. It's nice thag elephants are around to put them in their place every now and then.
Hhhj
Why yall calling an animal vicious is beyond me.
It's a great relief after seeing baby elephant safe💞💞
How very gentle she is.
Thank god finally mother rescued the calf super
No other love on this earth comes close
to a mothers love.
Be careful sweetie!!! Be safe and healthy out there!!! Love ❤️ you precious little ones!!!💗 ❤️
That is so amazing. Wow, that one hippo was huge! Mom sure is a fierce, good mom.
Hippos have a nasty temper! They would easily eat the baby. Momma ellie was very protective! And the little one still has his umbilical cord attached, fresh-new born sweety...1-2 days old
Elphante is the first animal I've ever seen running hippo off .. none mess with jumbo ..wow. kool stuff lady
Thank you!
The baby elephant made me nervous right up to the end!
Awesome video and so happy the baby elephant survived❤
Fiercely protective momma. Good girl! adept at using her foreleg to keep her baby from sliding back in.
Oh lordy, it was so cute & funny to see the little guy realizing he could swim! I think Mama is going to have her trunk full with this one; he has a mind of his own! Adorable! Thanks for this wonderful vid ❤
I have always loved elephants...gentle giants & motherly but the bulls R very fierce & protective of their own when danger lerks.
Insane! The baby is well protected with just his mom besides him. 🐘
Don’t you just love it when humans think they know better regarding an animal baby than its own mother.
Yup!
Oh my! I was holding my breath. I thought the baby 🐘 was going to die. 😭 I'm so glad he/she got out. ❤️🐾🐘
Was a bit unnerving.
The old matriarchs always seem to have a solution for these predicaments. Babies are precious to the whole herd.
Very true.... I watched a very interesting documentary about the role old elephants play.. they go thru menopause just like female humans and ( I'm totally against any kind of trophy hunting) but they though it was ok to kill the old matriarch as she couldn't breed anymore, but it showed that herds without elders n especially female elders did not do well as their wisdom on where to find water , dig for water n food was not passed on... very sad... it's very similar to why humans live way past menopause... they help rearing the young n pass on wisdom..... we ain't the only intelligent species by any means
Amazing watching these wonderful creatures especially mum and baby ones.....🥰🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed
NikelaWildlife thank you! 🙏🏼
So Lovely Elephant s
Baby having too much fun in the water. Disobeys mom. All's well in the end.
Yup!
A patient mom elephant.
the baby elepant is so innocent causing trouble to mom 😂 so cute.
The laughter stopped after all realized the baby was in danger.
Yup!
Yes but they should not of been laughing in the firstly place
The pump and wind noise are better than the music that kills our brain and nerves, I prefer to record the nature even with your laughing and talking it’s amazing, thank you so much
Well thank you for that kind comment... much appreciated
Aww teenagers laugh everything😏 i think they need to learn the difference btw empathy and sympathy . 🤔 i am sure they will learn this one day😉 especially when they have kids😅
Like your attitude... thanks.
Muy amados ❤ Madre elefante y Bebe . Ella lo cuida. Amor de madre. Oramos al Cielo santo para que desde allá siempre los miren y los protejan.
Hippo understood who's boss
This is a beautiful video thank you..❤
Glad you enjoyed it
Drama aside, i just love this. The baby had what looks like its first swim and loved it. Did not want to get out of the water... finally makes it out, is all clean and then runs through a pile of poop..
What's with the laughing ? 🤔 I personally don't see anything FUNNY about a baby 🐘 in a dangerous situation ! 😲
And a very young looking baby at that.
Elle Woods,
I agree 100%.
Humans laughing at a baby in a dangerous situation with mother surrounded by hippos, it is not funny.
I comment all the time about laughing and giggling at zoos and in the wild.
IT IS NOT FUNNY and it is DISRESPECTING elephants.
Please, please STOP laughing.
How cute is the baby
Some people have no respect for animals. What these people forget is people are animals too. People don't like being laughed at so respect other species.
@elle Woods, this is one of the mirrors of a sick society, missing empathy
Majka je strpljiva, stiti ga...❤️
I think he’s having too much fun and doesn’t want to get out. Whoa, those hippos are mean, I’ll get out now.
This was a big learning day for baby! 😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Люблю маленьких слонят замечательные
It’s so not funny. I do hope they were educated.
You tell those hippos to stay away mommy Ellie!
What a good mommy!
Yeh, tell them to stay away and go after the people laughing
象媽媽真的很會顧小象🐘🐘～❤
They could stop laughing about all of it there’s a little baby elephant and they’re trying to save the babies life while they’re sitting there laughing it really irritates me
Lovely presentation Friend obrigado
Thanks for so much
Me encanta!!! Que lindo, dulce e inocente...es tan pequeñito e indefenso, pero tiene una gran madre para protejerlo. Que cosita mas linda!!!
I am surprised the hippos didn't attack that baby elephant because they can be very aggressive and mean . I am too happy the baby got out if that water with those hippos around and mama taught those hippos to back off from her baby wow ! Baby elephants so cute yet fragile they need the herd for protection
Was an interesting scene... thanks for commenting
Thank you so much for the wonderful video. I am so grateful.
Glad you enjoyed it. Was definitely a privilege to observe in real life.
And this is why elephants need their tusks - never saw them used like this before!
Yep - they can also use their legs to stomp on other animals and of course that deafening roar they make scares many animals off. But tusks are their last defense especially in the water
I've seen baby elephants make it out of more serious situations and plus as long as the mother is close the calf will be protected and safe. The hippos don't stand a chance against an adult elephant . Almost anything baby related is adorable and cute, there general newborn unbalanced movements are funny. why is everyone giving so much hate on another persons laughter??
Thanks much for your sensitive and insightful comment.
Poor mom and baby!!! 🐘🐘🐘❤❤❤ The baby was exhausted 💔
gorgeous mama
Thank God 🙏 great mum.
Oh not a good first experience for the baby. Thank God for a good mommy. ❤😢❤
she is a good mama. letting baby work his way around the pond.. hippos did not stand a chance.. baby is always protected by mama
That hippo was like. IM SORRY MAM!!!!!
