I thanks to the Samburu rescuers, using some grit and ingenuity, they were able to ingeniously excavate this massive, 30 year old elephant to freedom! Incredible footage from: @janewynyard, and also from: @gilbert_sabinga w/ @savetheelephants | Jeff Corwin | Facebook

It's #WorldElephantDay! When born, African elephant calves weigh around 220 pounds and most are born during the night when it is harder for predators to find them. Twenty minutes after being born, elephant calves can stand, and will start to walk within one hour! After two days, they can keep up with the herd (they might need a little help at the watering hole though)... nathab.com/africa Video by Nat Hab Expedition Leader Richard De Gouveia | Natural Habitat Adventures
