Video from Kruger National Park shows the moments just after a baby elephant is born.
Cheetah Cubs Rescued After Drought Forced Their Mother to Abandon ThemThe footage was captured by Fabrice Invernizzi, who was visiting Kruger National Park with his girlfriend, Angélique Piccinelli.."We stopped to observe them, they seemed a bit nervous. At first we thought there was an injured elephant. We stayed for a while to observe them, back enough not to disturb them. After a while, the mother brought her baby back to the track, and that's when we realized it was a birth.
The footage shows the baby elephant being cared for by other members of the herd, helping it as it stumbles and picking it up after it falls on its side. "We were amazed to see all the attention that the adults gave to the little one, but what was very amazing was when the mother recovered the placenta and flogged herself with it. I'm not sure, but it seems that she gave the baby a piece of placenta," Invernizzi said.
As the elephant gets more stable, the mother helps it with her trunk and leg, encouraging it to walk on its own.Fabrice Invernizzi Invernizzi said Piccinelli had the shivers and he had to stop filming at one point to shed a tear:"We had never seen such a spectacle of nature," he said.Read more
