When This Baby Elephant Falls While Playing In The Zoo The Herds’ Reaction Is

When an elephant baby fell while trying to get out of a small ditch at the Swiss zoo in Zurich, two adults rushed in a few seconds to help. Although it is not clear in the video whether the child's mother is one of the adults who come to her aid, it is known that elephants have close ties with the members of the herd outside their family. The mother and the young share a special bond, but it is known that adults watch over the little ones that are not theirs. Other members of the clan can act as tate, a practice that helps young elephants to motherhood. The elephant park of the Zurich zoo is named after the Kaeng Krachan National Park in Thailand, where the Swiss zoo supports the conservation of Asian elephants.
