.. to the elephant kingdom. This current breed of greedy, selfish, and opportunistic boars do not know compassion for the others, they do not know offering protection, and they do not know child/parent bonding. They are devoid of all those things - they cynically label "WOKE-NESS".
Their souls only know how to be superficial - so they are vacant and empty beings of no substance.

Several months ago, when there was a minor earthquake, I saw a video of the adult elephants quickly forming a circle around the young elephants to protect them. So beautiful, so inspirational, I'll never forget it.

If only the cruel and vapid Republicans could learn something from their mascots.

I’ve never seen an elephant birthing before!

So impressive! And it looks like the others come around to help with guarding duty.

Just AMAZING! THANKS for this! In dark times like the donald has plunged us into, this really is a blessing to watch.

Life goes on. And the donald is irrelevant to much of it. Especially for me.

whose mother was killed by hunters. The ad implied the baby elephant would be all alone with no biologic mother, which is total bullshit. Elephants are a herd animal and when an elephant mother dies, the rest of the herd takes on the baby and protects it. I hate charities that lie to people to get contributions.
