The audience can’t help but laugh as the calf cozily settles on her lap. A bystander comments that the woman seems to be enjoying the unusual encounter.

Mother Elephant Gently Assists Her Newborn After a Few Stumbles

 A caring mother elephant was spotted helping her newborn stand back up after it stumbled several times while attempting to walk for the first time.

The elephant family—comprising a mother and her two calves—was seen going to the Chobe River in Botswana for a drink when the youngest calf, still unsteady on its legs, fell multiple times near the water’s edge.

Thankfully, the attentive mother was there to help, using her trunk and feet to carefully lift her baby back to its feet.


Charl, a 39-year-old photo host with Pangolin Photo Safaris, witnessed this heartwarming scene while on a boat ride. He described watching the mother and her calves interact for about 40 minutes.

“The mother and her two young ones were heading to the river for a drink,” Charl explained. “The smaller calf looked only a few hours old, still showing its pinkish color and struggling to stay steady on its feet.”

At the water’s edge, the newborn elephant tumbled several times, but its mother patiently assisted, using her trunk and feet to help the little one back up.


“They even crossed the river to one of the islands, and the tiny calf managed to swim the entire way with only its trunk poking out of the water,” Charl added. “It was such a special moment. We see many elephants in Chobe, but that was the youngest calf I’d ever seen.”

Charl reflected on the touching experience of watching the mother care for her baby and expressed a personal dream: “I still hope to witness a mother giving birth one day, but this was the next best thing.”

Six Rare White Lion Cubs Born at Germany’s Circus Krone (VIDEO)

These unique additions include three males and one female, born to parents King Tonga and Princess. Watch the video at the end. Susanne Matzenau, a spokesperson for the circus, confirmed that all the cubs are healthy and doing well. King Tonga, already a father to 16 cubs from two mothers, has embraced his latest role as a father once again. The newborns will remain with their mother, Princess, for the first three months, benefiting from her care before they begin training for future performances.
