Elephant mothers lead adorable babies to drink at watering hole in Kenya
- 6 years ago
A filmmaker captured the heartwarming moment a family of elephants makes the journey to drink at a watering hole in Kenya.
The touching footage, filmed in the Samburu National Reserve on March 2, shows how local Samburu warriors and the herd of elephants live in harmony.
The clan, including two small babies, journey through the bush to reach a water source on the banks of Ewaso Nyiro river.
Despite the scorching African sun meaning rehydration is important, the calves seem more interested in rolling around and wallowing in the mud.
At one point, the muddy ground proves too much and causes one of the babies to lose its footing.
After drinking their fill, the family retreats to the shade to rest.
