[@boatman222345]

Just a guess but I find myself wondering if having half a dozen cars filled with tourists watching her might be a large part of the stress the mother is reacting to?

[@Misswiskers4]

And we are supposed to be the superior intelligence. OBVIOUSLY , someone here is not thinking of the elephant or respecting them !!!!

[@Misswiskers4]

She is probably saying " could you please leave us alone !!

[@roncruiser]

No one said the humans in this video were intelligent.

[@voyaristika5673]

Well it makes sense, but these elephants are so use to people that it may just be part of their landscape. Plus the people involved are well educated by their experience with the elephants. At least I sure hope so.

MsDebbiB I've often wondered why there is such a stark contrast in the way the herd reacts to child birth. The herd will either crowd around the new baby and mother, or keep an extreme distance. I was thinking the same thing your are, and that is maybe the mother sometimes send signals to the herd that she needs her space and wants to be alone with her new baby. I adore elephants.

The rumblings were meant for humans watching...interfering...with a very sacred time for elephants. The mother seems stressed by you and the others. If left alone to check things as all mothers do, she may have caught the umbilical cord being out of reach. Poor baby probably died because cars surrounded her, possibly frightening the herd away.
