Watching Little Emma Being Born Is Amazing, but Just Watch What the Elephants Do Next, Wow!

A herd of elephants stands together on a dirt path surrounded by trees and rocks.

This video is absolutely fascinating. So Emily, an ex-orphan elephant that has been rescued, goes to the wild to give birth to baby Emma. Baby Emma is so cute, just watch the video!

Isn’t Emma cute? Yes she is! But isn’t it crazy what all the other elephants do after she is born?! They all gather around Emma, protecting her with their massive legs, and proceed on kicking dirt around, with the goal to cover Emma completely. Watch again in case you missed it!

The way they cover Emma with dirt is almost ritualistic, and this happens until Emma can walk on her feet. Then when she’s able to walk, the elephants eat the dirt!
