A touching video posted on Twitter by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan shows a mother elephant sending danger signals just as soon as she senses danger to her calf. Just as the mother elephant sends out the rumbling warning signal a herd of almost six elephants shows up. Everyone in the herd is seen working together to protect the little one and its just too adorable.
There's an African saying that says it takes a 'village to raise a child,' meaning it takes an entire community of people to help a child grow in a safe and healthy environment. And Elephants are probably the only animals who prove this saying by the way in which they raise their calves.

As seen in the video, the animals are surrounded by humans during a Safari and just as the mother elephant sends out the 'rumbling warning signal,' a herd of almost six elephants shows up.
Everyone in the herd is seen working together to protect the little one and it's just too adorable.
African and Asian elephants form female-led, tight-knit groups consisting of a dominant matriarch. For elephants, living in groups makes individuals safer and allows them to devote more time to caring for and teaching the young.
Elephants are also known to be highly emotional creatures. More recently, a mother Elephant in Tamil Nadu avenged the death of her little one that got electrocuted by a transformer pole. The mother elephant, in a fit of rage, uprooted and destroyed the transformer in the village.
According to a Hindu report, the incident took place in a field of Gobbilla Kotur village adjoining the Koundinya wildlife sanctuary, in the wee hours of Sunday.
The report states that the mother and calf strayed into the area inhabited by humans and that's where they encountered the fateful live wire.
