Elephants Run To Say Hello To A Rescued Baby Elephant, Prove They Are Better Than People
A video showing the whole elephant herd running to greet a rescue baby elephant is going viral, and for obvious reasons. The short clip filmed at Elephant Nature Park shows 1 year and 9-months-old orphan elephant Dok Gaew who receives the warmest welcome ever. They can surely teach us a thing or two about friendliness, empathy, and co-existing in peace.
These wonderful creatures are known for their gentle nature and enormous physical strength. They are matriarchal, i.e. females are the ones who run the world in the elephant kingdom. Oh, and they are herbivores, which means they don’t kill for food or just because they want to. And did we mention they don’t harm the planet as humans do?
Let’s be more like elephants, shall we?

Share on FacebookI agree. Most of them are being murdered for their ivory, and its horrible. These critters, especially Asian elephants, are very intelligent and more friendly than their African cousins.

You're absolutely right. When the first group of Nigerian girls was returned to Chibok, one mother wrapped her daughter as she did when she was a baby & carried her grown daughter on her back. All the mothers were excited.

There are primate species that have harems, and rape. They kill the babies of rivals and will literally kill and tear apart an enemy with their bare hands. And that's just our closest relatives. There is a LOT of animal behaviour that if you did it as a human you'd be considered a complete POS. Just sayin.

Coexisting with whom? They're running toward one of their own who is being held away from them. They're running toward and trying to get one of their own back. If your meaning is that humans should coexist with animals....Focus on the predators and poachers who are killing elephants for their ivory.
Here is a link to a longer video explaining more about the babies journey and when the herd came running. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khLJU9cLDmY
There is hope they will take care of themselves, as we cant be trusted to practice stewardship for our incredible planet. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/elephants-africa-tusks-ivory-poaching-born-without-a7440706.html
