Loved watching it!
Elephants are truly a real family and this shows how much they care for and support each other in many ways. I know this is just a glimpse, but it is very fascinating.

Watched whole video. Amazing. Really looking forward to new video of Echo and family as well. Great work.

WOW! Thank you so much for sharing this video. It may be several years before it gets to the US so I can't thank you enough for posting the link.

It blows my mind that all or part of this film was done with dung cameras. As one who regularly photos and videos elephants, it was an amazing job. How does the dung cam know when to telephoto in on something and then zoom back? I can only presume that a camera team was there not only managing the dung cam but also taking regular videos. It certainly shared close up views of elephants that probably only people like Cynthia's group and Iain's group get to see. With 12 trips to Amboseli and Tsavo I've never been lucky enough to get most of these close-up videos!

I'm going to share this video link with all that I know who love elephants.

Again, many thanks.

Just watched the entire movie and enjoyed it thoroughly. I can only agree with Lesley. Thanks for this link!

The movie was filmed entirely with dung cameras in Amboseli and Samburu, Kenya, and Chobe, Botswana. The Amboseli Elephant Research Project and Joyce Poole are credited.
