A loving mother has been captured assisting her newborn as it got back on its feet after a nasty fall during its initial few clumsy steps.

The newborn family – a mother and her two children – were observed making their way to the river for a drink in Botswana’s Chobe River when one of the smallest calves fell down repeatedly at the water’s edge.

The baby was too young to crawl on its own and probably needed support from mum. She can be seen carefully lifting her precious kid back up using her trunk and feet.

‘The tiny calf was still pink, wobbly on its feet, and only a few hours old.

The newborn plunged several times at the water’s edge, and the mother gently guided it up using her trunk and feet.

They even traveled across to one of the islands, where they saw that the little one had actually swum all the way there, only its trunk sticking out of the water.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime occurrence. We have many elephants in Chobe, but I’d never seen one so small before.
