A wiɩd baby elephant displayed extraordinary loyalty and compassion when he refused to ɩeave his injured friend’s side, even in the presence of humans who had previously harmed the herd.
The incident occurred in the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where five elephants were found with arrow wounds from local farmers.
A team of veterinarians was dispatched to dart and treat the elephants, but one calf remained protectively close to the sedated animal, even though it was not his mother.
Despite being surrounded by humans, the calf remained calm and attentive throughout the operation, showing concern and protectiveness towards his injured friend.
His behavior was a testament to the intelligence and compassion of elephants, even in the face of hostility and injury.
The vet team worked for two days to treat the elephants, and thankfully, none of their wounds were life-threatening. They were able to recover and rejoin their herd, thanks to the quick intervention of the veterinarians and the unwavering loyalty of the baby elephant.
