Elephants Protect Babies From Wild Dogs

As you’ve probably seen many times on our playlist, mothers in the wild will go to all ends to protect their young. Elephants are the epitome of this phenomenon.

This is the moment a herd of elephants comes together to form a shield around the babies of the herd to protect them from a pack of wild dogs.

This incredible sighting was streamed in real time on SafariLive to thousands of people around the world. SafariLive streams game drives from Djuma, Sabi Sands, and Greater Kruger Park in South Africa. This sighting allowed thousands to witness just how protective elephants are when it comes to their babies.
