When an air-raid siren sounds in Israel's Ramat Gan Safari Park, what happens? Five females from the zoo's Asian elephant herd circle one-year-old male calf Pele (Hebrew for "Wonder") in a video captured by Michal Levi during the recent 11-day onslaught of rockets launched at Israel.

Five females from the zoo's herd of Asian elephants are shown around year-old male calf Pele (Hebrew for "Wonder") to protect him in a video captured by Michal Levi during the recent 11-day onslaught of rockets launched at Israel from Gaza.

A Safari representative remarked, "This behavior is quite emotional for us to observe, but it is pretty normal of elephants." "Elephants are social animals who live in a close-knit family." Ramat Gan is around 58 miles (93 kilometers) from the Gaza Strip.

Reported Injuries

Despite the fact that the elephants were unhurt, a missile splinter that fell on the Safari Park on May 15 stuck in the spine of a black macaque, which required surgery at the park's Israeli Wildlife Hospital. She is presently in good health.

The facility is also treating animals from other regions of Israel who were injured by the missiles and were brought for treatment by the Israel Nature and Parks Authority under the guidance of chief veterinarian Igal Horowitz.

One of the birds, a monk parrot, had wing fractures and a few scorched feathers. Ariella Rosenzweig, a wildlife veterinarian, supplied pain medicine, fluids, a splint, and a bandage. The team has christened the parrot Rocky, and it is expected to make a full recovery.

Elephant Moms

Elephant moms are among the few animals that care for their newborn offspring and remain with them throughout their lives.

Female elephants (cows) are exposed to parenting at an early age. Elephants live in groups of female elephants called herds. Female elephants show an interest in caring for their herd's calves when they are teens. In exchange, it teaches them how to care for young elephants and prepares them for when they have their own children.

Caring for their Youngs

Female elephants not only bear their children for over two years, but they also teach their kids. According to elephant mother and baby facts, elephant mothers educate their calves on how to stand up, find food, swim, spot threats, and so much more. Female elephants are among the only wild mammals that protect, raise, and educate their offspring.

Elephant mothers guard their calves and teach them how to avoid danger. Elephant mothers may run to their sides if they hear their kids making anxious sounds. They defend them from predators like lions and hyenas. Because of their size, these creatures like to target elephant calves.

The importance of an elephant mother to an elephant infant cannot be overstated! Poaching or natural reasons can, however, lead a calf to lose its mother. Poachers have been known to kill female elephants for their massive tusks, leaving elephant babies orphaned.

Baby elephants under the age of two have been shown to die without their mother unless they are saved, according to studies. Without a mother, the baby elephant can not get the food or protection it needs to survive on its own.
