Elephant mothers and their calves
S1 • E13 Jul 1, 2008
Female Elephants take extraordinary care of their young. An elephant breeding herd consists of a tight-knit clan of well armoured females which few predators would dare to challenge. There are no males in an Elephant breeding herd so it's up to the females to feed, protect and teach the young elephants everything they need to know to survive in the bushveld. With their mothers, aunts and other females serving as a mighty force of bodyguards young elephants have all the protection they need to successfully reach adulthood.
