‘The calf ran out towards the other hippos and the mother was about five miles in the water before coming out.
‘It’s unbelievable. It happened very quickly. Elephants are incredibly fast over short distances.
‘I feel very sorry for my mother trying to protect her. It was quite emotional to see her go to those bottoms. to stare at her lower body and become much larger than before
‘You must have seen all her humiliation or she was rather taken aback, the elephant looked like he thought what he had done.’
The mother and calf quickly returned. But far from euphoria with compassion. The herd acted aggressively towards her and she was forced to retreat with the calf separated from the group.
The elephant’s mood improved greatly as he carried the other hippo cubs to the waterhole to chase a few crocodiles away.
