Wow! I wonder what humans would be like if left to do it on our own? In many cases thank god we have medical help.

Naaaawwww! Thats so beautiful! I love how she immediately changes from frantic to calm once the little calf starts breathing, checking it over, softy touching it.

Another thing about elephants, usually they have the rest of the herd (the females anyway) who act as midwives, and would help protect the mum, allow her to recover and help get the calf up quickly after the birth. She did well herself, but I couldn't help feel lonely for her.
