Description: While traveling in Botswana I came across this newly born baby elephant struggling to get to its feet. There appeared to be a lot of confusion with various adults both female and males all trying to help. Eventually the calf gets to its feet and immediately starts to suckle. The herd then moved off into the bush with baby tottering along trying to keep up.
