This young calf is still mastering the challenges of elephant life—using its tiny trunk to explore the world, and never straying far from its mother’s side.

Bottle-feeding is one of the most important parts of caring for orphaned elephant calves at Elephant Havens.

Wildlife and Rescue on Instagram: "Baby elephants, called calves, are born weighing around 90 to 120 kilograms and rely completely on their mothers and the herd for care. They are highly curious and learn by following, touching, and observing older elephants.

Elephant Rescuers on Instagram: "Baby elephants, known as calves, are highly social and depend closely on their mothers and the rest of the herd. From birth, they learn by staying near adults, copying their movements, sounds, and behaviours. Their trunks start out uncoordinated, but through play and practice, calves gradually learn how to use them for eating, drinking, and exploring their surroundings.

today in wealth 20260102 Elephants sometimes abandon their calves due to stress, illness, or danger, and it’s becoming more common.

Human activities—like habitat loss, poaching, or accidents—can also separate mothers from their young. In some cases, first-time mothers may not know how to care for their calves. Sadly, as human-elephant conflict grows and environments change, more calves are being o
