Orphaned elephant becomes mom to cutest baby elephant. Watch to know their story - Hindustan Times
Motherhood is an experience in itself and often showcases itself in the most innocent and loving ways in animals. The videos that show animal mothers showcasing their exact same kind of love that any human would, are always heartwarming and interesting to watch. This video that was shared on Instagram by the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, shows exactly that kind of a bond between an elephant mum and her baby named Mambo.
It comes with a beautiful story through a detailed caption, a part of which reads, "(...) Our gentle girl Mutara, whose story has such fraught beginnings, just embarked on this remarkable chapter. She was rescued as a newborn (first slide), likely orphaned at the hands of poachers. Mutara has been living wild for many years now. She chose to spend the majority of her pregnancy around Ithumba, so we knew this happy moment was on the horizon. And now, after 22 months of nurturing life, she is a proud mother. We often find that motherhood transforms an elephant's character. However, Mutara remains completely unchanged. She is still her gentle, trusting self and has taken the whole experience in stride."
"Given how effortlessly Mutara has taken to motherhood, it is easy to forget that she is an elephant raised by the human hand. While she never knew her own mother, she still grew up knowing the love and support of a family. Now, she will apply this same love and support as she raises her own family in the wild. We have named Mutara's baby 'Mambo.' This is a familiar Swahili greeting, one that brings a smile to one's face. It essentially means, 'tell me your stories' — and what a story Mutara has to tell! Now, she embarks on a wonderful new chapter, with little Mambo by her side," it concludes.
