sheepdog 10 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 If you have never seen a baby coming into the world, here is a link to a great video of an Elephant giving birth to her baby. It's pretty cool. The filming was done really well, since it is such a big critter it's easy to see everything, even if the lighting is not the best. (I'm sure the momma Elephant appreciated the subdued lighting but it doens't make for good filming) I've seen colts, cows, goats and of course pups come, and done more than my share of assisting with births, but I'm really glad I didn't have to mop up the floor after this one!http://kudtkoekiewet.nl/?t=http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/656611/d1deboorte_tv.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted November 20, 2009 That was cool.The Mom knew what she was doing, as per the method used to prompt the new-born to get breathing and standing.I have seen, and assisted with, calfing and appreciate the 'smooth' delivery this baby went through.

Smart creatures elephants, they have brawn and brains. Edited November 21, 2009 by inverse_bloom (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
