Keep your eye on the left side of the screen, because two little buddies are about to make an adorable entrance. Here, elephant herds gather on the shore banks to enjoy a relaxing get-together amongst friends. But it seems the two babies have strayed from their own herd! Once they realize their moms aren't congregated on their side of the bank, panic ensues.
Their mothers have made it across the shallow river before them, so these goofy kids sprint into action and go running through the water to catch up. Using their trunks to resonate cries and bellows, they scramble for Mom's attention in the cutest way possible. "Wait up! We're coming! We're coming!" Lucky onlookers can't help but relish in the heartwarming moment as Mom pulls them in close with her trunk. Reunited, and it feels so good 🙂
Because of their sheer size, elephants spend a lot of their time eating and moving slowly to conserve energy. But in this video, viewers are treated to a rare glimpse of how fast these majestic creatures can really run.
The adorable footage was captured by Save the Elephants (STE) international intern, Karunya Prasad. Save the Elephants is an elephant research and conservation organization devoted to securing a safe, happy future for elephants.
