A recent video posted by user Parveen Kaswan on Twitter shows an extremely touching and emotional moment. In the video, we see a somber situation as people and cars stop on an empty road to help grieving elephants, not in protest but out of respect.
In the footage, an elephant can be seen gently approaching while holding a young elephant’s deceased body in its trunk. The anguished elephant delicately places the dead calf on the other side of the road.
More elephants gather, creating a solemn circle around the young elephant that has passed away.
“The family of elephants won’t leave the baby’s side,” says Parveen Kaswan, who posted the video, describing the scene as a solemn “funeral procession.” The elephants grieve together, but eventually, they move on.
They carry the dead calf with them for a while, showing a deep sign of sympathy and sorrow.
Elephants have profound emotional connections, and this moving video serves as a powerful reminder of their capacity for mourning. It gives us a glimpse into the intricate and fascinating realm of animal emotions.
We are reminded that these amazing creatures experience love, empathy, and loss just like we do.
