That was awesome, the way all the other ellies stayed with her during the birth wa so touching like they were birthing along with her. The white feet was a total suprise.
Thank you for sharing

I just watched the video on full screen and was completely blown away. What an experience it must have been to those who filmed it and who were there to share in the joy of the birth. A rare and spectacular experience. Thank you for sharing it with us Africammers!

Since the honeymoon couple who took this video posted on google..i am sure that it's alright for public viewing.
Imagine being right there live and in person to view it. !!?? I lost my composure just seeing a herd of ellies of all sizes LIVE. ..but to see an actual birth would be tremendous..lol...probably hard on my heart!! lol

i loved hearing their comments in the background.

i had seen it before , though i got it from two other cam sites. And i had no idea at that time that we were allowed to post videos from other reserves and lodges on AfriCam.

Wow! Thanks for sharing, Chuck. I've got to start bouncing around the website a bit more to see what I'm missing out on. Awesome experience for the newly-weds...one, I'm sure, they will never forget, as will I. It's going in my favorites list after sending to many friends. Laughing out loud

That was amazing! I loved how the other ellies tried to keep it steady with their feet so it wouldnt fall over.

This is really a stunning video. How lucky the people who made the video must have felt to witness something so unbelievable! I loved to see how "tender" those big elephant legs can be.

thanks for sharing!

Awesome is the only word I can think of to describe the video also. Thanks so much for sharing.

Does anyone know what the babs are eating at the WH? Looks like some sort of nut, don't you think?
