The group sometimes splits for foraging purposes, but always reassembles around the mother and 'baby'. However the aunts' attention is largely lost fro her when a new calf is born, who needs more care then the mother alone can give, needing to learn everything an be protected, not least against the -often horny- males. Gordon also films an 'elephant class' which nurtures ad trains orphans, just as several present herd members needed due to poaching. Written by KGF Vissers See less
