    awww – sweet tiny baby. Well, tiny for elephant. Its little trunk was so cute. I guess adult trunks are not as strong as I thought. It took 2 adult trunks to give the baby a boost up. I LOVE elephants.

      Yes, and those little legs – it looks like he’s wearing baggy pants.

      I would’ve had such a hard time filming this – I’d be down in the mud hole trying to boost him out. Love how he’s so nonchalant at the end – “I knew they’d take care of me” 😀

        That would have been such a bad idea.

        I imagining five full grown elephants not appreciating your assistance.
