Mother elephant seeks help with waking up her sleeping calf
The video is old, but has gone viral again after being shared by Buitengebieden on Twitter.
In the video, a mother elephant at a zoo is trying to wake up her calf but to no avail. The calf is seen sound asleep, oblivious to any attempts to disturb him. After continued struggle, the mother is forced to try something different. She finally gives up and calls for help. Two zookeepers enter the enclosure and attempt to wake up the baby jumbo. One of the zookeepers shakes the calf awake. The baby jumbo then opens its eyes and runs up to its mother.

Oh my goodness it¡¯s the same as us! Those paranoid times just watching if the baby was still breathing or maybe that was just me. I even bought one of those special alarm things for under the mattress. Great buy considering they slept in my bed for years!

It's good that the mother elephant trusted the care keepers to help with her baby. That says a lot about their skills in working with the animals.???

Elephant kills crocodile to protect her calf
Last year, a video went viral showing a female elephant killing a crocodile to protect her young calf. It was shot by Hans Henrik Haahr while on a safari in Zambia.
"Crocodiles are opportunistic hunters and have been known to prey on baby elephants. This mother elephant was not taking any chances and was not happy with the crocodile being so close to her young calf ¨Cto protect her calf, she removed the threat of the crocodile entirely," the video is captioned.
In the video, the elephant can be seen using its trunk and head to push the crocodile away. However, after a few moments, the mammal's behaviour turns aggressive and she tramples the croc under her heavy bodyweight.
The elephant wrapped her trunk around the crocodile's tail and tossed it around while trampling it. This eventually killed the reptile.
