In the 2 minutes 20 seconds viral video, two elephants and a calf can be seen standing on the bank of a river. While elephant calf decides to take a dip in the water, an alert mom keep a close watch.
Elephant moms are always extra cautious wrt to their calf. They never let them alone unless she is confident that the environment is safe. Lovely video to watch and understand their behaviour.

Sudha Ramen, Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer shared the cute video on twitter, captioned, "Elephant moms are always extra cautious wrt to their calf. They never let them alone unless she is confident that the environment is safe. Lovely video to watch and understand their behaviour. (sic)
The maternal bond between mother and baby elephants is second to none in the animal kingdom. Elephant mothers carry their babies for nearly two years before giving birth, teach their children the skills to lead the herd during hard times.
Wonderfully said, a mom’s alertness and the kid’s blind braveness well captured

Elephant moms are alway extra cautious wrt to their calf?Very True,that's beauty of mother,that's why mother can bring up her child very well. Nature is kind & intelligent. It doesn't want life so precious to go in waste. So mother,with love,care,nourishment, protection is there!
