Lost Baby Elephant Reunited with Mother

- This heart-warming story comes from Olare Motorogi Conservancy in the Masai Mara, Kenya, in January 2020.
While out on their routine early morning patrol, the Conservancy rangers came across a young elephant calf of just a few months old wandering around all alone and visibly tired and frightened. It seems the calf must have become separated from its mother and the rest of the herd during the night and was then unable to locate its family due to the tall grass which has grown up after the recent rains.
Baby elephants are entirely dependent on their mothers for the first few years of their lives and it can be extremely dangerous for a calf to become separated from its family as the herd provides safety from predators and a young calf is not able to fend for itself. The rangers therefore knew that they had to get the baby back to his mother for him to be able to survive.
The rangers quickly sprang into action to look for the mother and were able to locate a nearby elephant herd which they believed to be the calf’s family. They then drove back to where they had seen the calf, and turned off the vehicle engine to stay quietly beside him so as to keep him calm and earn his trust. After a while and sensing he was not in any danger, he got accustomed to the patrol vehicle, touching it with his trunk as if to familiarize himself with this strange object and perhaps hoping that it might take him to his mother. And sure enough when the rangers started the car engine and began driving slowly towards the direction of his family, he followed the vehicle running for almost three kilometres.
Once they reached the herd, the rangers stopped at a safe distance, watching as the baby’s mother rushed over to collect her baby, joined by others from the rest of the herd who welcomed back the youngster. The elephant calf was very fortunate to be found and re-united with his family before coming to any harm and the rangers gave him the name Olomunyak which means “Lucky one” in the Maasai language.
This short video clip was provided by Assistant Warden Raphael Kasoe and show the calf running after the Rangers’ vehicle as they led it to the elephant herd and then being re-united with its family.
You rangers bring back dignity to the word "humans". Thank you for doing so and for helping to save a life.
Can we not give him lift? . He was running for so long. Poor baby. Im happy he found his momma.
I'm so happy he was reunited with his mom and family. The way he was running was heart wrenching yet so sweet.
I adore these beautiful majestic animals.
God bless you all.
That's what we as human beings should learn from this baby elephant 🐘. If life threw a lifeline towards you, you should make efforts to help yourself and show appreciation.
I hope the little sweetheart had a nice dinner and a restful nap after his adventure!
Thank you for finding his family and taking him back safely to his mom. I couldn't believe the baby ran that far. He was so cute. I kept saying to myself, pick him up and put him in the truck, pick him up. He ran so far, poor baby. But what an ending. Thank you all so much for protecting all the elephants. Such beautiful amazing animals.
a trick : watch series on Flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
@Princeton Donald yea, have been using Flixzone for months myself =)
@Princeton Donald definitely, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
me too I wanted to see him picked up lol
Me too, I thought give the baby some water ‼️🌸💖💕 But best to not ‘pick up’ wild animals or the mother might reject it...
that mother wanted to say THANK YOU!
lol. It's so cute. the younger baby elephants intincetively run to follow anything bigger than them because that's what they would do with their mom.
Truth yes🍼🐘🐘🐘
Dios los bendiga a ustedes señores por su gran labor. El reencuentro del bebé elefante con su madre y familia fue muy hermoso .
Bless those who led the baby back to it's mother and family.
Happy ending.
geezz why were they driving that fast. The little baby could hardly keep up.
We so need a happy ending in this world now. Thank you.
How did the baby get so far away from its mother that a truck was needed to lead him back? I think this video is fishy.
@@karenbartlett1307 Kids are kids no matter the species...they will see something interesting, and have to explore, and we all know how kids can slip out from under our radar in a split second 😳🏃💨. That's youngsters for ya. 🥴😊
I'm so happy baby and mom were reunited...Happy Ending! 🥰🤗
@@dixiehefner9774 Perhaps!
Awwwww. That little creature was running for his life.
I was talking to the video saying “ No, no, no! You’re going too fast! Slow down!” I too wonder how they got separated?
Thank you thank you thank you. This calf is indeed lucky can be reunited with his mother and the herds.
I’m surprised he was separated from his mother. Elephants are usually very protective of their young.
Great work dudes!! Great!!
Young mother
Very odd. Someone must have got distracted and he went roaming.
Strange... Very strange.
The attachment of elephants to their young is comperable to that of humans, I read once.
The way he is running after them just made me want to cry happy rears 😿😻
He needs to be in the animal Olympics, running 1K, faster than me 😂
Glad to see the baby was clever enough to understand that it was safe as long as he stayed with the ranger's bakkie , a very happy ending .
I was so worried looking at his little legs going full pelt! Maternal instinct was saying ... stop!... wait for him...he's tired and thirsty! So glad he met his herd...🤞💜👍👏
I thought the same. This poor baby had to run 3 km in high speed. I was so frighten that it would collapse. Thanks god it didn't.
haha, glad I'm not the only one with mum brain saying "oohhh stop, put a hat on and give him water".... maternal instincts go to any baby - at all.
@@bealong8718 ahh that’s so cute Bea… sweet comment. 🥰
@@lilliankeane5731 tell me the hat didnt cross your mind too, cos I'm sure it did. I would've sat that bubby elephant on my lap given the first inkling of a chance xx
@@bealong8718 exactly my dear… you’re a love… oh my heart… I was thinking.
“what’s wrong with you lot?… Wwwwwaiit! Waaaaiit for him!” There was a moment of panic as …. I thought “oh no…. it’s not gonna be a good outcome”
Elephants are normally filmed being most protective of their young. So it took me by surprise to see them just going away. Be still my beating heart… he was ok in the end.
Oh the ups and downs of deep empathy. 😄
Oh by the way.. hello from Australia 👋
Thanks You So Much With Lots Of Respect 🙏👏🤝👍🐘
So happy it was led back to his herd!
Goodness you drove so fast, I'm surprised that little baby manege to kip up
I hope Olomunyak stayed closer to his Mom after that. Things happen though. I'm just glad he's safe.
Great job 👍 getting that baby elephant back home to it's mother.
I can't love this one enough
Bless his little heart.
Think whoever was driving could've gone a bit SLOWER......... instead of exhausting the baby elephant. 😒

Elephants will follow a car or anything so well done in getting the baby back to its mama!

It just lifts your heart to see the heartfelt kindness of people who will go the extra mile in their love for animal's KUDOS to all the people willing to do this Jackie England
Poor little baby.. she could hardly keep up her steps, could have slowed down the car speed for the little darling to catch up a bit with. Anyway, thanks to the people who done great in leading the baby back to her Mommy and their herd. 🙏👍❤
Wow so amazing,, Back with Mum, Thankyou for helping him get back to Mum
She even said Thank you for helping the baby 🐘 💕
I'm so glad that the cute baby elephant found his mom. Actually, someone from the tourist agency. Thank you. We wouldn't want that cute baby be lost in the wild. Thank you God. +
AWWW...POOR BEAUTIFUL BABY TROTTING SO HARD. WISH HE HAD A THUMB TO HITCH A RIDE ON THAT TRUCK! MUCH GRATITUDE & BLESSINGS 🙏💞♾☸
Wonderful! Thank you.
Mother elephant should be more vigilant in watching for her young one and to be more alert that it is beside her.🐘🐘
the baby fell into a hole and the mother could not get him out.
God bless these beautiful innocent animals 🐘🐘🐘❤️🙏
E puro inocente os Animais. Eles usam estes Animais como se fosse um objeto achado e descartável. Estes Diabólicos Bruxos da Política. Mas não vai passar. Diante do Criador que e Deus 🌳🦕🦖🌌☄️👶🧙🧱📖👋🤨#
Thank you they’re still good people in the world keeps spreading your love and light
You guys are blessed for life.
So so glad this baby elephant was rescued and reunited with his mother. The rangers did a great job! By the way the baby is too too cute🤗❤️❤️❤️
Omg I was crying watching the baby chasing the jeep. Thank god for the gamesmen who knew where his mumma was. I couldn't have bared it if this didn't have a good outcome. Knowing how important family is to ellies I could feel the herds relief.
Wonderful. I do feel for the poor calf running 3km but all's well. Good thinking on the crew's part. 👍🏼
❤️ Family Love....thank you for helping this little Ellie! 😊
So glad there was a happy ending and the little one did not get hurt in anyway. Thank you to all who brought the baby home.
Thank you so much. Very well done!
That's why I love elephants 🐘 they always band together. They protect and love each other! OMG what us human beings could learn from 'em!
These Animal rescues like this baby elephant stuck in the mud, I can speak for all of us that watch this watched to the very end! Great job on the save, and for documenting it for us, big thank you to YOU ALL, GREAT JOB!
That's the most wonderful story! God bless all the rangers in Africa! You do such an important job.💕
Mother and Father's love is unconditional. Truly beautiful family's bond and the Nature. This is true love. Happiness and all the best you deserve, elephant family. Have a good day. Love. Blessings to you and your family and everyone, always.🙏🤍❤️💛💚🤎🌷🌾🪴🌴🌻🌹💐🌸🏵️🌺❣️💖🤩😘
Qué cosita hermosa corriendo una maratón!!! ☀️🗽☮️♥️♥️♥️🐘♥️♥️♥️😊

Happy to see them united. Baby elephants stay with their moms for several years. 😀
Thank U 4 Helping the Baby & Family💜
that's one very happy and grateful mama and sisters!
Great job guys
Any bastard has to gonna pay in hell to harm these angels in any way .very beautiful my favorite 🐘
Smart move convincing the calf that the large vehicle was a friendly elephant!
Baby elephants like the comfort of big things, they are like its mom and his herd. That's why he was chasing the truck! 🐘🐘🐘🐘😚😚😚
This is amazing. So many people out there that film use the excuse that they are not to interfere with nature and idk how they can leave or allow a baby of any species lost knowing it would die without their parent. Thank you for stepping in and leading that baby back to its family. They already have a hard enough life together but at least together as a family they have a fighting chance.
Kudos to workers who never get pat on back ! I thank you for your job 🙏🎆💎
I think they went too fast.
Thank you so much for the explanation, as it really allows us to understand and appreciate all the work it takes to keep these amazing animals safe. Again, a BIG THANK YOU!!!!
Thanks a lot for reunited baby elephant 🐘 ♥️
Thanks what a great rescue ! God bless the baby elephant !
Oh!!!!so happy he reunit with his mom!
Thank you too the people who got her to her family😇❤️🙏
Good Job from the Ranger. I love Elefants.
Thank you so much for saving this little baby and getting it back to its Mom.......God bless you

Did the Ellies thank y’all for returning Junior?? They probably did in their own way..
God bless y’all for taking the patience for the next generation of Africa’s giants,, heart warming indeed. ❤️❤️💯❤️😊
Good job bringing the baby home to mama!! Happy she wasn't lost to predators...Where's the baby?? I thought you had the baby...ah oh...oh no...whew!! A truck had the baby...I love a happy ending! Thanks for saving this little baby!!
Thank you guys. You are stars

God bless you for doing this.
Daddy spoke so clearly.

Спасибо🙏💕
You guys did a GREEEEEATE...JOOOOB.AWESOME.THE 🐘👍😊
👍 I hope there’s plenty of water around, little guy worked really hard keeping up..
How the hell did he get separated? He ran that track like Usain Bolt!
Tranquil Rabies - it’s so important that the park rangers know their herds, right down to the babies. Good outcome.
He fell in a hole couldn’t get out
Excelente trabajo amigos.
woww.. amazing. I read the story how this baby elephant gets separate with his mom & herd. Thanks for saving the baby elephants
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts ❤🐘❤
How far did this baby have to run to find its mother? Thank you for keeping track of who's who on the plains.
Good job 👍 Thank you for helping this baby 😘
Thank you so much andi... 🥰😍😘
Why’d you make the baby have to run so fast? It was probably exhausted.
That was brilliant.
may god bless you all
This is LOVE💕👍
