No, not that one.
Before you click on the video below, you need to know a few things. It's a very graphic clip of an elephant giving birth, so if yer squeamish about such things, don't watch. It's messy.
Doesn't bother me - I've certainly seen the same thing on a smaller scale right outside my back door back when Dad had cow-calf pairs.
What makes this unique is what happens after she drops her calf - watch it and see. Some say we anthropomorphize far too much - but if there ever was a picture of concern and worry, it would be this mother elephant when things don't go smoothly.

That was worth watching~!
Thanks for sharing it, Jeffro.
Momma pulling on her baby's trunk in the effort to get him to breath was awesome... animals are sooo much smarter than we give em credit for.
And lookie there- he can walk, hours after birth!
AMAZING! Alan and I watched it before we went out for chores last night and we just couldn't stop talking about it. I came back to make sure and leave you a comment as I had to get going last night....just wow!
