Responding to the video, a user said, "Astonishing how Mother Nature demands so much of its offspring moments after birth yet, we coddle kids and wonder why when life hits them in the jaw they cannot overcome the moment seamlessly. Tell a teen to get off of TicToc, go to sleep, get up early and watch the reaction! [sic]"

"How sweet and touching! All the fellow elephants come to greet the newborn baby! Elephants are SO sweet and amazing! We must take care of these beautiful, intelligent beings. Welcome to the world, little one! [sic]" Another user posted.

Praising the clip, a netizen claimed, "This is incredible. It makes me all the more devastated that the Norwegian govt killed Freya the walrus this week. Why can't we just let these magnificent creatures live their lives and not make everything about us. [sic]"
