1. Yes. Beautiful.

2. The current Republican Party in the White House is a complete disgrace to,...

.. to the elephant kingdom. This current breed of greedy, selfish, and opportunistic boars do not know compassion for the others, they do not know offering protection, and they do not know child/parent bonding. They are devoid of all those things - they cynically label "WOKE-NESS".
Their souls only know how to be superficial - so they are vacant and empty beings of no substance.

6. Yeah

Their spirit animal is really the skunk. Oe a feral hog.

8. Yep--they would be yelling--hey kid, get off our grass.

3. Absolutely magnificent

Several months ago, when there was a minor earthquake, I saw a video of the adult elephants quickly forming a circle around the young elephants to protect them. So beautiful, so inspirational, I'll never forget it.

If only the cruel and vapid Republicans could learn something from their mascots.

5. That's quite a film! Thanks!

7. Amazing to watch!

I’ve never seen an elephant birthing before!

So impressive! And it looks like the others come around to help with guarding duty.

Just AMAZING! THANKS for this! In dark times like the donald has plunged us into, this really is a blessing to watch.

Life goes on. And the donald is irrelevant to much of it. Especially for me.

9. Two trunks up. After watching cows give birth many times I feel for mom.

10. I stopped even thinking of giving to the World Wildlife Fund after it started running a TV ad about a poor baby elephant

whose mother was killed by hunters. The ad implied the baby elephant would be all alone with no biologic mother, which is total bullshit. Elephants are a herd animal and when an elephant mother dies, the rest of the herd takes on the baby and protects it. I hate charities that lie to people to get contributions.

11. Wonderful!

12. Mama needed a moment of pause

the first seconds afterwards. "Ahhhh. Deep breath. Now let's go do this."
