Video of an elephant giving birth

Very interesting the way the elephant uses her back legs to get the calf breathing, to a layperson this could appear mean and negative.

Thats was pretty amazing I have to say, maybe not quite a lunchtime video, but very impressive.

I agree the kicks do seem pretty hard but at the end of the day mother nature knows best. Also amazing how quick the baby is up and walking, when you compare to a human who is near helpless for a year.

Thanks for the link.

Definately not lunch time viewing with that amount of fluid! It reminds me of that scene from 'The Shining'

what a fantastic video..
as random as it sounds as a student midwife i absolutely loved it! if only it was that straightforward for all my women!

i loved how she was able to raise the baby's head - brilliant!
