I always find it so amazing how protective the herd is of its calves - it is not only the mothers who takes care of the little ones, but there is always a group of willing helpers. They can often be seen protectively surrounding a little one in open spaces, or gently drawing one back when it tries to leave the safety of the herd.

Wonderful, heartwarming scene, beautifully captured!
Even baby elephants look like their skins are too big for them!
That shot just melts the heart oh so quickly! And because of that I’ll make sure that I visit Addo by the end of summer. I heard that the park is now the third largest in South Africa, and that they handle the safety of elephants and other animals. What Addo is doing is truly inspirational, serving as a sanctuary for elephants.
