Overnight, a remarkable event unfolded in the wild: K***, the daughter of Taji, welcomed her first calf, Benti. In a TikTok video by "loves animals," viewers are introduced to Benti, who is only a few hours old but already standing on her feet. This young elephant's initial moments are crucial, as she needs her mother's rich milk to build up strength.

First-time elephant mothers, like K***, may not always have the best instincts. In a sweet display of family bonds, Benti initially mistakes her grandma, Taji, for her mother. With blurry vision, Benti finds a n***** but receives no milk. Taji, with her experience, quickly corrects Benti, ensuring she finds her mother. This swift intervention is vital, as Benti's survival depends on it.

The video captures these touching moments, showcasing the importance of family support in the animal kingdom. For those interested in nature and wildlife, this is a must-watch. Witness the incredible start of Benti's journey and the protective instincts of her family. Watch the full video on TikTok to see this sweet story unfold.
