I love watching the baby practicing doing things with his trunk.

[@beatricescroggin3406]

One 0g the more cute and heart warming videos of a new born, especially trying to work iys trunk. Accompanying music was perfect.

[@charles-y2z6c]

Yep, thats whats happening momma is teaching and he is mimicking, he is not eating it. They live exclusively on high fat mothers milk at that age.

You got to love the calf mimicking his mother eating grass. They live exclusively on mothers milk at that age.

For those complaining about the grass, they have hay bales put up in the trees ( not in the video ) and are fed each night in the elephant house. Whipsnade is a Fantastic zoo. Maybe have a read up about the conservation work they do.

[@sandyevanski4929]

My cup runneth over with incredible protective love for these beautiful Elephants! Now our job is to keep them safe and away from anyone who means to bring them harm and they are out there! Evil poachers, people of India who just last week set a mother and her baby on fire. I still cannot find out their condition. The tourist companies who arrange Elephant “rides”. Do not ever ride an Elephant. Ever!! The people of the villages who set “snare” trips. The injuries the Elephants endure if caught in one is horrific. Read about Baby Elephant Khanisa an albino Elephant rescued by the David Sheldrick foundation. Her injuries as just a newborn calf is very upsetting. Many thanks to the wonderful workers and volunteers and people who donate financially to keep these Elephant foundations and sanctuaries funded and caring for these magnificent animals so that our generation and future generations will enjoy what we’ve taken for granted.

Much more space for the elephants here than in the Zoos in England I've visited. Ours don't have grass underfoot either. There is concrete and mud and one zoo has a large waterfall. This is much nicer. This is a much larger open space for them.

[@wheelboy5827]

Wonderful to see young elephant play with his brother's or sister's, and they seem happy despite live in the Whipsnade Zoo. Personally, I find it difficult to see these elephants graze grass like goats. They would be so much better free in the forest surrounded by shrubs, branches, tall grasses and ferns full of leaves with other elephants. I must say however, that in a reserve or here at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, they are well fed and safe from poachers.

@@barbibutton9619 Ma'am, please commit a crime and go to prison and then see how foolish you sound. PAWS is full because "dogooders" like yourself wanted the elephants "rescued" from circuses and now too many of them are homeless and the sanctuaries are full. Congratulations!

[@realtreegrl]

My 1st thought when I saw these elephants was “they look so sad! So very, very, sad!” Then I noticed they barely even get a mouth full of grass. It’s like teasing them. I hope the zoo gives them treats and a big mouthful of those bananas! I had to finally stop watching this video - way to sad! (ง'̀-'́)ง :-(

They can't even grasp the grass and WHAT KIND OF SAVAGERY - BULLHOOKS ARE YOU SERIOUS???????????

[@Anon784]

You’re not the only one surprised and disgusted at this. I understand that they have to be trained to perform certain functions to assist when they need to be examined or treated for things, but bull hooks are abhorrent and should not be used. Very surprised this is allowed in a UK zoo.

[@Aurinkohirvi]

It's sad to see how their trunks constantly play on the very short grass. Nothing to pick up. But yes it's much better than being a work elephant in some lumber company. Very cute baby. They are so clumsy still at that age.

[@sistercarrieofyahuah8601]

This is so sad they are definitely unhappy and need more room with more things to do. This breaks my heart.

[@Patricia-vd9xh]

@@robinjohnson2749 Elephants in the wild walk long hours as a herd. They travel from place to place everyday. It is essential to being a herd and raising young. This is a sad video. The zoo might mean well, but they are wrong. Recently a zoo in UK, even with large areas for elephants, announced they are re-locating an entire herd of 13 elephants back to a Sheldrick Reserve in Africa. That is what is right to do.

For the first year they are supposed to drink only their mothers milk, therefore God is so great that during this time they have to learn to use their trunks.

[@Jkatz9y]

To my untrained eye, these elephants seem to be lacking something. They are browsing animals, and without anything to browse on, they are listlessly going through the motions, kicking uselessly at lawn grass. They don't look happy. Maybe I am missing a part of their lives at Whipsnade, but generally speaking I don't believe it's appropriate keeping these amazing and complex creatures in zoos. We should be moving towards sanctuaries such as PAWS in Tennessee, and the many Nature Parks in Asia that are happily springing up these days..

[@howsentimental]

Jkatz9y While I don’t think this family is unhappy, I agree that sanctuaries are always the best solution if these animals must be in captivity.
