He was trying to mate with the mother who just gave birth. All the smells of a baby being born can get the male elephants excited. The aunties come in the protect the baby.

@JanusHoW 9 месяцев назад

It's more to protect the babies from predators. Only an entire pride of elephant specialist lions could even hope to bring a full-grown adult down, but an elephant calf is an easy meal that even a single lion could bring down. But only the most reckless predator would even try to take a calf under the watchful gaze of the mother, grandmother, aunts and maybe sisters.

@qt9716 6 лет назад

actually he was trying to mate with the mother. it's very common, he mistakes the smells of birth, look closely you will see it's the mom he's mounting. (the mom has blood and fluid down her leg, etc.) I've watched other videos where this is explained in detail. I always feel sorry for the mother, hard enough she just gave birth without a male trying to mount her right afterwards.

@debrahouston2884 3 года назад

I was wondering if that were the case. Then, when narrator said an aunt adopted the calf, I KNEW the bull was trying to mount the mom. Poor baby was almost trampled to death bc of that MUSGUIDED BULL! 🙄🤬

@user-ob4sq6fi3s Год назад

Not all of them do it. It usually happens to younger, more excited and impatient males. Older, more restraint and experienced bulls know that one way to ear points with the herd is to not be jerks to the babies. That's why they usually ignore the calves for the most part

Just like male deep-sea anglerfish, the male elephant is nothing more than a supply of sperm for the female/s.

@user-ob4sq6fi3s Год назад

Not quite. Granted, they do not partake in the care, learning and protection of calves but they play a vital role in the development of younger males. When bull elephants leave their family in their early teens, -usually between 10 and 14-, they seek out the company of other bulls. They're particularly drawn to older bulls who take the rookies under their wing and teach them new sources of food and water, survival skills and even battle techniques. That's why in areas where adult bull elephants have been exterminated due to hunting, the younger males are volatile, aggressive and uncontrollable

Elephants mate publicly. In fact, all the bellowing you were hearing during the mating was the family advertising the female's availability. An open invitation to any male might prove even fitter and strong enough to displace her present partner

and if you must know, if the females didn't want him around, they would have made him leave. The fact that he got to stay, much less mate with the receptive cow, is because the females allowed him to. Not because he coerced them to accept him. It's nice to actually read stuff about animals instead of judging them based on human morality, isn't it?

@berserker3414 9 месяцев назад

Usually when sexual instincts kick in, empathy and rationality gets smashed to oblivion. We also do stupid sht just to get laid. The expression of ''post nut clarify'' exists for a reason. We also experience this and the bull was alerted by the smell of the hormones after birth. Also, it seems this only happens with inexperienced impatient bulls and not older ones. Remember, these creatures are individuals, of course you will find jerks
