Though old, the video of the elephant mother-baby duo came into the limelight after recently being shared by IFS officer Susanta Nanda. In the tweet’s caption, he mentioned that mother elephants and their calves as fascinating beings and we can’t agree more.

“A mother will not tolerate slightest of obstacles on the way of their kid. It removes the branch from the way for its few hours old little champion,” Nanda tweeted. He also added that the video is old and he came across it when someone forwarded it to him on WhatsApp.

In this 32-seond-long super adorable video, a mother elephant is seen removing a branch which is blocking the way of its newborn calf. As the baby tries moving forward with trembling steps, the mother clears its path to help it learn how to walk. Eventually, the baby starts walking forward and at one point it even jumps into a tiny puddle.

“The only ambition left in my life now is to hug a baby elephant,” wrote a Twitter user. “Mother & child always have a very special relationship, whether humans or animals!” quite rightly wrote another. “Moms and their babies are the cutest to watch in animal kingdom,” expressed a third. “OMG the baby is so sweeeeeet,” excitedly tweeted another.

“Beautiful! Elephants are indeed closet to human in terms of raw emotion,” expressed another.
