I could watch this video over and over. I love how the elephants gather around happily to protect the new calf. Ex orphan EMILY, who had been absent for much of the latter part of 2014 living a normal wild elephant life walked back to the stockades at 10.30 am on the 23rd of December to give birth to her 2nd wild born calf in the company of her erstwhile human family of Keepers who had been instrumental in her own upbringing during her formative years. This was witnessed and captured on film by the Keepers and the event was filled with trumpets and rumbles of joy from EMILY’s satellite herd of ex orphans who had accompanied her back, all of whom were eager to gently help get the new precious bundle to its feet, nudging it gently, and using their trunks to lift the baby. It was another daughter for EMILY named Emma, a little sister for EMILY’s first born Eve, who was born on the 11th of December 2008. sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/updates/updates.asp?ID=757
