Three-Legged Baby Elephant Makes a New Friend | BBC Earth

[@KatherineUribe-1]

I love baby elephants. I'm so glad they gave this little one a prosthetic and elephants friends. Elephants are like us; gregarious by nature. They need one another. Bless the folks doing this work!👍🤠

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

How can anyone dislike this?! The humans are doing everything they can to protect these lost and frightened animals, and go well beyond the extra mile to make sure they have the best life possible. They just *can't* do more for the little guy, it's not possible. They are wonderful people who dedicate their lives to the service of those who've often been harmed deliberately by other humans. If you downvote, you have no heart.

[@ethanotoroculus1060]

I don't think you _can_ downvote if you lack a heart, but whatever. You make an excellent point nonetheless!

[@yevgeniyaleshchenko849]

Awww sweet baby, be happy and healthy! That human friend is an angel as well!

[@anuradhairoshani6841]

I'm fortunate to have been born on the first earth of all humanity...mother sri lanka...proud to be a sri lankan..

[@ldelellis62]

Glad these people take the time to do what they do. They don't get enough credit, that's for sure💖

[@Brucey]

*So happy for him!!*

[@leeohmoon231]

now when he`s got his first friend I m still crying this time out of joy :)

[@divyarathor9992]

Tears of joy on Namal's graduation from kindergarten!!

[@FruitPunchSamuraii13]

That low rumble sound elephants make is so soothing to listen to

[@mariemaidyn3698]

Ryuu-Dono ...You may enjoy ASMR here on KZbin

[@twocentstomlinson4967]

So so glad there are organizations staffed with lovely people to help animals with disabilities like sweet Namal.

[@debbiemandy8014]

I'm in LOVE with this little guy!

[@brimwithadreamofclutchin5285]

When I first saw namal from the recent video, it really​ breaks my heart seeing him isolated. Just happy for him now that his social life is progressing well. Go forth young elephant live a happy life

[@ianr.996]

Aww. Namal is adorable.

[@natesha1449]

This wonderful to watch every time. Hope he makes more friends.

[@mariemaidyn3698]

What a bond the caretaker shares

[@yukig4021]

Soooo Cute Namal Baby ❤️

[@Chris_A_UK]

Elephants are amazing, I love them!!!

[@chamorugirl70]

I am so happy for Namal, he deserves as much normalcy as possible in how to be an elephant for however long he lives and I hope its long!

[@shubhadanene2822]

He is just wonderful

[@vadaann1279]

That purring sound elephants make is one of my favorite sounds.

[@SA-hy6nw]

Oh Namallll you're so sweet!

[@irfanwibisono7587]

Damn I can't stop these tears coming out

[@lisaetinger2248]

If this don't break your heart, you don't have one. Thank you for saving him. I wish him happiness. The heavier he gets the harder it will be on his leg.

[@angshumannew2023]

Baby elephant in a cruel world 😢

[@marcherm]

The elephants don't seem to think so.

[@KraitoKrombongus]

goodness as well, kind humans that provides a temporary leg and watching over.

[@MrAlsfan5]

What a beautiful video. It's nice to see something so positive.

[@bachtran5533]

[@glen7228]

Why am I getting so emotional right now?

[@LMN764]

Because it's very, very emotional... 😥

[@cherishireland9194]

I love the sounds they make.

[@HelenaMikas]

Watching the progress of Namal is a joy and this wonderful chapter is a testimony to the elephant orphanage .... Amazing work is done there :) *

[@ジャリヤ]

Aaaaw that's so sweet! I wish I wasn't lonely ;-;

[@Donari]

get a dog

[@clxwncrxwn]

Donari dogs are expensive, there’s vet visits, registering it. Over all the cost is in the thousands, sometimes you can luck out with litters being cheap. But then there’s the breed to think about (some bark less than others) what type of neighbourhood your in etc. especially if your living in an apartment, most won’t allow pets. and most breeds need daily exercise, some less than others.

[@stayforgood5160]

clxwncrxwn cats are best

[@KatherineUribe-1]

You're response made me cry. You're never alone; we're all connected. It's part of the human condition to feel that way. However, some of the suggestions were good. A dog or cat is a good companion. But I want to encourage you to reach out to folks. Trust me, you're not alone in feeling alone. There are many who feel as you do, who are wanting friendship and companionship. Just reach out! 👍😊

[@Haruglory131]

Great video. Its from Udawalawe Elephant Orphanage.

[@stayforgood5160]

Yashaswin Dineth Bamunusingha where exactly in Sri lanka please ...i want to visit there ...is it possible to visit it ??

[@dinethbamunusingha]

Yeah.. it's open for everyone

[@dinethbamunusingha]

It's alongside with the Udawalawe National park, Uva Province, Sri Lanka. It's one of the major tourist attractions in Sri Lanka.

[@dinethbamunusingha]

If you're visiting. Though it's open whole day, there is a schedule for feeding the baby elephants.. if you can go the on right time.. the sight is amazing... Just like a kindergarten for elephants

[@stayforgood5160]

Yashaswin Dineth Bamunusingha oooooh cuuuuute that sounds great ...thank you dear i appreciate your fast reply ...really thank you dear

[@nethu7171]

Honestly BBC could have done something for a better prosthetics. They will be earning millions from this two minute clip.

[@josephastier7421]

Elephants are more socially advanced than humans. They always welcome a newcomer into their herd, as if they were an old friend. Doesn't matter in what condition or what age.

[@annemariegraff2743]

[@jakep1979]

Onions, onions everywhere!!

[@Rajeshdas-001]

[@AntonioJimenez-gm8mm]

Hello. Can someone explain why this elephant has this problem in his back leg?

[@josephastier7421]

I wonder if a different prosthetic design would correct the defective stride.

[@vinothjustice]

I'm make my self defender of the animals Vinoth justice world strongest back hand man

[@starrynight43451]

He was covered in mud

[@sharonpowell1969]

I know humans caused this injury. We do not seem to understand that we have to share this earth and we are responsible to be caretakers.
