The adult elephants probably were not only greeting the new calf but also protecting him from any possible harm while he became aware that he was out in the world and no longer inside its mother.

Elephants are known to have a strong sense of community, and this particular herd is no exception. These creatures are not only incredibly intelligent, they are also very loving and caring to each other.

Another viral video of elephants in the wild shows another heartwarming example of how they look after each other.

When a young elephant gets stuck in a water trough and is circled by lions that are waiting for it to die, the herd rush to help the distressed creature out, and they never give up until putting the calf out of danger.
