How an injured elephant calf found safety within a new family
In short: A wounded mother and her calf join a different herd after their separation. This footage from the BBC Earth series reveals the profound social complexities and emotional depth of African elephants.
This footage is part of the 2009 series Secret Life Of Elephants, which explores the hidden lives of African elephants in Samburu, Northern Kenya. The series highlights the intelligence and emotional depth of these animals through the individual stories of their dramatic lives.
