Elephant Mom Crying for Help Leads Rescuers To Her Trapped Baby | The Dodo 

So thankful for the rescuers! I'm in awe of elephants, they can live about 70 years and in that whole time a female can only have four babies, and each one takes a massive amount of resources and time to be born and to raise... they're supposed to stay with her for years or even all their lives with the daughters so the heartache would have been terrible

Agreed, that person in the excavator was a saint

*people, personnel

I thought something similar. After all it dug him free with his "long nose". Does he think it's a distant relative. 🤔

@@marhen4497 no, he was actually trying to attack it

It was cute how the operator put the scoop so he wouldn't fall back into the ditch, and then kind of shook it like "go on, shoo."

''Excavater'' is that how you call that in english? I've always called them diggingmachines because in the Netherlands we say ''graafmachine'' or ''happer''

Maybe you just don’t know how to handle rejection that you put the blame on the girl instead. That being said, there are good and bad people in every country/society. No need to make an assumption, bro.

ive seen other videos where people try to help a stuck baby and the mother doesnt understand and tries to attack them to protect her baby and they have to chase her away for a while to be able to get to the baby and get him out and reuinite them later. so it was quite special to see in this video her just waiting and trusting the humans. maybe this one is very used to them

🥺

@@helixxia9320 they have a great memory and are very intelligent so maybe this one has had positive experiences with humans before and therefore trust them to help her out

Pretty sure he charged it as a threat. Poor little terrified thing.

Lolllolol

You putting human emotions on this lol he was just charging at it

Elephants are highly intelligent and have human like emotions ...if you look at the video carefully it's pretty clear that he is attempting to interact with it as if it were an elephant! That is exactly how he would interact if it were a very large elephant and you can see him scanning in attempt to make eye contact and expressing towards the machine before he runs to his mom! Amazing 😍😍 😍

Just a Random Dude Cutie! 😋🐘 you almost made me cry...

He was absolutely adorable.

😭 that baby elephant won’t be going outside for a while

Oh yea, a lot of English was spoken between those elephants.

Alexander-Maurice Mill I understood the cringy “joke”, was pointing out how dumb it sounds.

@@nathan-498 well isn't that the point of a joke also not over analysing it

TheCursed Galleon Yea I would call it a bombed joked.

Isn't it tho? The more videos like this I see, the more it seems like many different kinds of animals know us better than we think. It's like they all have conversations about us when we're not around lol

Dolphins, elephants and some birds are known to have intelligence roughly on par with human 5 year olds. Elephants in particular have as many neurones in their brains as humans which suggesting cognitive evolution. Outside of that even lower level animals are able to associate things. Domesticated cats for example will approach humans if injured or hungry because they associate humans with help/safety/protection.

@@Jake-ir3gw Don't forget the non-human primates!

@@nishanacharya7484 that was my point.. That is not just a bloody accident but a serious matter of concern..

Sooooo true. The God that created 'love' and 'compassion' is truly God of everything, including wisdom.:)

You should know that in Thailand men and elephants have a long History of cooperating. Only the last century men become slaves to money and betrayed elephants. Hopefully, tourists will stop being happy with elephants in captivity.

It's amazing

Yes,Elephants are quite holy for this reason in our religion.That's why the monks were there as well

Ain't that insightful. She got electrocuted on a feints while the baby falls in a hole....

Till she gets shot by drunk farmers

Elephants are highly intelligent animal. Once in my village a man shot down a baby elephant in the forest. Then when his wife was pregnant and was working in the field, the mother elephant came and killed her by dividing her body into two symmetrical halves and so the pre matured baby came out of her womb and died on the ground. This is how the mother elephant killed the hunter's baby. Then the villagers were all alarmed and hunt began for the mother elephant. Finally, the sister of that hunter encountered the beast in the jungle and she shot her down too. Killing her instantly. I am very afraid of elephants no matter how cute they look. I would want them to stick in wild and never come out.

@@gbasar1032 how does an elephant go about dividing a person in two?

I love elephants❤❤💜. It's been prove that they truly exhibit emotion and understand family. Look how she went crazy with worry and looked for help. I believe when a elephant is killed humans loose a bit more humanity and shame ourselves before God.

not really gentle and kind theyll kill you straight away sometimes

I donate to The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya. They rescue orphaned elephants & are very trustworthy.

They will killed you if they feel unsafe by your actions, like they have instinct but they will put a lot of trust if they can sense the people is kind, like this elephant mother she's know they are kind so she put her trust on them to help her baby

Yes there are good and bad in this world

Same species, different people.

It is all about a persons Spirit. Wisdom dwells in all of HER creation. The Lost follow the father. The wicked created the father who is without living waters. Two different spirits.

Nothing weird. Human intelligence is a result of nature, we are just using how we want to.

We are extremely diabolical species. In one day ( or hour ) we can go to insane heights of goodness, and in the other close time frame we go into "deeper than hell" wrong doings; same man or men ! I think that becouse of that we (homo sapiens) developed very high intelligence of thinking .

@@christopherlee5902 On what do you base this belief?

@@christopherlee5902 what is a soul?

Christopher Lee, you know we don’t have souls either right? There is no such thing as soul. We are exactly like them and they are exactly like us. Nothing special about humans. Love, compassion, sadness, attachment, fear etc is built into the very fabric of life.

All living things have a soul . This soul is nothing else but our conscience , our mentality . We can either fill it up with positive energy by being good to others , thinking positively , gaining knowledge etc or fill it up with negative energy . Ultimately heaven and hell is nothing else but our state of mind .

Elephants generally see humans as friendly creatures. They even percieve us as cute.

They are smarter than dogs

Mom elephant was distressed and desperate, desperate enough to trust other species to help.

Alpha Machina yea, I’m pretty sure they did that deliberately.

Joseph Reynolds yeah because electrocuting an elephant is more important then having electricity in the surrounding area

She was probably stampeding around pissed, and elephants rear up, or put their trunks up in the air when they're mad, so she got caught up on it.

The "subtitles" if you will, on the dodo's videos are all bullshit

That's the third world. Usually 220v. Here, in the US it would be 110v. She got a huge jolt @ 220v.

808steveA. Right, an elephant never forgets. Maybe she'll save them someday!

Sarimasu They r very smart! So wonderful a rescue! 😊 My dog is listening 2 these 2 crying out on this video right now!

Ayham Mazkatli I thought so. I saw an elephant rescue like this on You Tube, & mom was far away so they could save the baby. They did it fast b4 mom knew what was happening. Mom & baby were safe, reunited.

808steveA. You mean the same lovely people that put those holes and electric fences there?

mom elephant looked like she didnt give af about the humans...she just ran off wit the baby

Animals have always been observing our actions and evolution. They are one with the planet. So they are far beyond intelligent than we think they are..

when humans can't solve something by themselves and they know aliens exist, they will ask aliens for help, ESPECIALLY if they know the aliens aren't an aggresive species. not saying animals know that about us, but they would still ask ANYONE they could for something they deeply need help with.

I am going make a guess that this elephant is comfortable around humans. She tolerates them but she wont go up to them. I guess she figured out if she needs help one of them can help her.

Ask help from humans Only when those animals smart enough. Asian elephants have an IQ roughly 50, Some normal humans only have 65. So you can imagine those big ones are as smart as a 6 years old human kid. Beside, adult elephant may had been helped by Humans as a baby, since those are Buddhists they had a high chance to help.

That thing happened in Thailand a land of Buddhists. they have a long tradition of help animals, that why animals would think humans will help them
