A recent video posted on Twitter by user Parveen Kaswan recorded a heartbreaking and emotional moment. In the video, we see a sombre situation in which an empty road is blocked by people and vehicles, not in protest, but to help bereaved elephants.
The video shows an elephant approaching and tenderly carrying the deceased body of a young elephant in its trunk. The sad elephant carefully positions the lifeless calf on the opposite side of the road. Other elephants come in, forming a mournful circle around the deceased young one.
Parveen Kaswan, who posted the video, observes that the elephant family refuses to leave the baby’s side, resulting in a sombre “funeral procession.” Regardless of their pain, individuals finally go on. However, they do not leave without carrying the slain calf, displaying a tremendous demonstration of grief and empathy.
This moving movie serves as a strong reminder of elephants’ profound emotional relationships and ability to mourn their offspring. It gives us a look at the complicated and interesting realm of animal emotions. We are reminded that these amazing creatures, like us, have the ability to love, empathise, and grieve.
