Share this:

A recent video shared by Parveen Kaswan on Twitter shows a deeply touching and emotional moment.

In the video, people and cars stop on an empty road, not for a protest, but to help grieving elephants.

The video begins with a heart-wrenching scene: an elephant gently approaches, carrying a dead baby elephant in its trunk. The sorrowful elephant carefully places the lifeless calf on the side of the road.

Soon, more elephants gather, forming a mournful circle around the deceased calf.

“The family of elephants won’t leave the baby’s side,” says Parveen Kaswan, who posted the video. This creates a solemn “funeral procession.”

Although deeply saddened, they eventually move on, but not before carrying the dead calf with them, showing their profound grief and sympathy.

Elephants have deep emotional bonds, and this powerful video highlights their ability to mourn for their young. It gives us a glimpse into the complex and captivating world of animal emotions.
