A newborn baby African Bush Elephant struggles to its feet shortly after being born! HD video
This scene unfolded along the shores of the Chobe River in Botswana, Africa. The baby African Bush Elephant (Loxodonta africana) was born just before this video was taken. The baby lay still in the sand for a very long time while the huge legs and trunks of family members formed an impenetrable barrier to predators. Captured here are the baby elephant's very first attempts to stand.
