Herd Of Elephants Runs To Warmly Welcome An Orphaned Baby Elephant At The Sanctuary
Elephants have extremely strong social bonds both within and outside of their family groups. Individuals interact frequently within groups, particularly through play behaviours between people of all ages.
Chasing, mounting, wrestling, and sparring are all examples of play behaviour. When closely bonded elephants are separated, even for brief periods of time, they exhibit very intense greeting ceremonies that include a lot of trunk interactions and vocalisations when they are reunited.
Young adult females look to older adults to learn mothering skills, and they frequently assist in caring for the younger calves. Elephants care for their young even if they are not from their herd.
This is the heartwarming moment when a rescued baby elephant who has lost its mother receives the warmest greeting from a herd ever.

The gentle elephants are well known for their social lives and protective nature, particularly when it comes to their babies (even though they are not from the same elephant family). You can imagine coming into a new place without knowing if the people there will accept you but boom... you get the warmest welcome ever.
