      I care only about watching the video before giving my opinions. I have to admit that the Elephants are weird animals that make no sense the way they live and expect their kids to do the same. But, maybe they don't want anything to go wrong with that baby elephant and that's why they are demanding the baby to reach and stand-up.

        Poor baby elephant, it's so little and weak.

        • Josh Simon

          How cute, irresistible cute Baby Elephant, you said it is a girl?

          • Audrey Seessengood

            That's nature, I think Elephants make family groups called herds and with those groups, they make sure  every baby is ready to go  right after they were born, the faster the better. That's the point for keeping this babies alive because the herd don't have the time to sit and wait a lazy baby, they need to go find food, to go and have fun swimming, and looking for a place to sleep thru the night.

              I'm ready to watch some Elephant videos. I learned that babies stand and walk if there is a strong reason they can see and understand to give it an extra strength on their try

                The baby just needs a lot of love and a  little push.

                • Ellie

                  I think it depends how strong the baby Elephant is, some take a small amount of time to stand and some others need a lot of help from the herd. I also want to thank you for sharing this great elephants video and their baby struggle to walk some day.

                    Too bad that I can have one baby Elephant in my backyard or inside my home as a pet. I seen them hugging with people and being playful all the times. They have a lot of love to share.

                    • Mia

                      I agree, A small Elephant that size, like less than day old, Who knows how long it takes to stand by himself or herself. Mom and the others are freaking up for no reason because there aren't any Lions around. Eventually, we will watch that baby walking.

                      • Ava

                        The mom and the Elephant family, and friends will achieve that goal, they don't give up and they will keep up trying for long hours. Little baby Elephants go thru the same process and I truly think that the entire herd know that.

                        • Charlotte

                          To me it looks like the little Elephant is trying it. He or she needs more time to figure it out.

                          • Sophia

                            Honestly, I watch the video, and by the way it is a long video. I didn't understand why the Elephant herd worries so much and push the little new born baby to stand. It is a very weak baby Elephant and that's why it takes too long.

                            • Sophia

                              I think babies elephant do their best but, it really takes to them about two o more hors to learn how to stand and perhaps start walking.

                              • Emma

                                I can spend days watching this video and I still don't get it. Why do they want the baby to stand and walk so early? Maybe is because they are afraid of a predator like coyotes, wild dogs o Leopards and lions to come and kill the little one.

                                • Ben Barnes

                                  It is beautiful to watch the New Born Baby Elephant and his entire family putting their best efforts to help the baby to stand, just an unique video. Love it.

                                    The baby is way to weak and   it needs more time to think about it.

                                      I want to buy a large farm and grow Elephants so they don't go extinct ever. I love this video because it touch my heart seen the Baby trying to stand and Mom and  Grandma lifting it with their trumps. These are amazing hours of video

                                        I'm amazed when I seen this group and search for the way I could say how happy I'm at this moment from learning much closer to Elephants. Thank You for posting these questions and allowing everyone to say their opinions.
                                        I can understand the Baby's Grandma and Mom because they are worry about their strict job of making the baby strong and it is a must for the baby, so he or she can survive.

                                          I tell You what I think after watching this Baby Elephant video..  I think the Elephants instincts are all about making sure the new member prevails and grows to produce other members, yes it is kind of a life circle. Elephants feel and think every thing that keeps them safe, they know what is best for the whole species.

                                            I think those Elephants are freaking up because their DNA has a worrying information concerning baby Elephants being eaten by predators like Lions, Leopards, Tigers etc. They must get the new little elephant to stand and walk as soon as possible as protection mode for preserving the species. I mean, that's my opinion and I could be wrong too.
