Big shock for baby elephant: After wandering around alone for three days, it finds its mother again. Elephants are very social animals.
Their solidarity is essential for survival, they protect each other and react with sadness when a member of the herd dies. The bond between the young and the mother is also so strong because elephant cubs are nursed for up to five years. The young animals are not only protected by their mothers: aunts and other female relatives also look after the little ones.
