Elephants Instantly Surround Their Babies When Something Spooks Them

Elephant herds gather at the waterhole when something suddenly puts them on alert. Almost immediately, the adults close ranks around the vulnerable calves, keeping the youngsters safely surrounded while they assess what has startled them. Elephant families are highly protective of their young, and adults will often position themselves between calves and a perceived threat. Welcome to Africam - always live, always wild!
