Elephants are known for being very protective of their young offspring. On Tuesday, Indian Administrative Officer Supriya Sahu shared a photo that showed two elephants standing next to a calf and then bringing their trunks together to form a type of chain in front of the young elephant.
While sharing this photo, Sahu wrote, “The most fascinating photo of an elephant family making a protection ring with their trunks around their precious baby to protect her as they are approached by a vehicle. Elephants are gems on this planet, so much to learn from them Photo by Santhanaraman #Mudumalai #elephants”.
It is unclear when and where this picture was taken. However, it has so far gathered hundreds of likes. Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “Elephants appear to be more concerned and caring about their children as compared to other animals. Beautiful creature of GOD.”.
Another person said, “Yes Elephants 🐘🐘are intelligent Animals. Life has unknown Hand which Helps Life to Grow from small to Big. Mother Protect Younger From challenges coming it’s way& provide Food needed for Life untill the younger one stands on it’s own Feet.Nature has compassion towards Life.”.
In July last year, Sahu shared a video that showed a mother elephant protecting her newborn calf from rain by pushing the calf under her belly as if mimicking an umbrella. This video was taken in the Gudalur municipality of the Nilgiri district in Tamil Nadu.
