Elephants are the cutest of all time

The jealousy is so adorable!

Unfortunately, Nandita and Aayu died in 2018 of Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus (EEHV), an illness endemic in Asian elephants which primarily effects calves, is VERY fast-acting, and usually lethal even when detected and treated early on. Another calf, Indali, got sick in 2019 but lived, one of the few calves to survive the disease. Chester Zoo is currently contributing in the development of a vaccine against EEHV, not only to protect zoo elephants, but their wild countreparts as well. Asian elephant are already Endangered, this disease is one of the many threats that puts their survival in jeopardy.

...that`s sad news😮in my city, the zoo lost 2 elephants in a short time as well,,,,, Thank you very much for your informative comment

[@alezot6141]

@@twinflowerfioretta I am so sorry. Is it the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo in New Mexico, by any chance?

[@alezot6141]

@deepaparvesh9232 but the episode is old

[@AlmaWadeCrymsm]

I hope they succeed in developing a vaccine, that's so heartbreaking to the keepers who work so hard and the other elephants losing family members

[@Derrako]

That's so tragic

I want a little micro elephant to play with so much it hurts

[@laurenurban3942]

I like how they all support the mother. That’s amazing. Cute that the, now, older baby was jealous and even kicked the new baby. That was funny. Mom, tired of the antics, finally pushes her away and slaps her with her trunk. I like to observe their discipline techniques. They’re very effective.

[@xmenVicente]

Find it amazing how the other elephant stand side by side to protect the calf

[@ishrendon6435]

Well its instinct in the wild calves are killed alot by predators

[@ishrendon6435]

Its amazing but its quite common behavior in mammals that have vulnerable infants in particular

[@KamKos69]

Elephants are beautiful :-) great movie :D :D Best regards from Wrocław Kamil 🙂

[@peterng25]

Eating ice? these are part mammoths

[@ahmadshah__official]

Where are their teeth

[@drewluczynski9609]

In the mouth. They’re more molars than incisors. If you mean tusks, only the bulls grow those

[@paolamaremosso9034]

NO ZOO.

[@Soucry-kb4mw]

Pauvre bébé une vie entière en prison

[@Patricia-vd9xh]

Horrible that they are in a zoo without the true life of an elephant. They should be at a reserve.

[@AlmaWadeCrymsm]

They live a great life and are well taken care of. Places like these are trying hard to keep the species alive.

[@anacorrea6700]

Opino igual!, No deben estar ahí. En una reserva y en sus países!!!. Si los quieres ver,viajas a sus países y de paso dejas divisas

[@SoggySoxSaga]

Poachers

[@linda10989]

While others are commenting on how cute the babies are, I'm sad that 3 generations are living in captivity.
