Wait for me!! ⁠ ⁠ This kind of run, with ears and tail lifted and trunk waving exuberantly is commonly seen among calves. As calves get older, they begin to increase their proximity from their mother. Sometimes they suddenly find themselves a little too far from their family, and this is when we see this kind of run. It is often accompanied by a shriek and/or rumble call to their mother. The reaction of the family varies, but usually a more experienced mother would not react with panic or concern to this behaviour from her calf. The family usually wait, return the call, and reassure the calf when they reach family members.,⁠ As we approach the end of the week, we will be celebrating our 51st anniversary on the 1st of September. So much of what we know about elephants is as a result of our work, and thanks to those who have supported us over the years to keep us working in the field. We would be hugely grateful for any donation you can make to support our work.
