Elephant Calf Playfully Kicks Tourist During Attempted Selfie

  In a comical encounter, an elephant calf gave a tourist an unexpected kick on the backside when he tried to take a selfie with the young animal. The amusing moment unfolded in Chiang Mai, Thailand, where the baby elephant rested against a stone wall, its front feet propped up. A visiting tourist approached the calf, camera in hand, and aimed to snap a selfie with the elephant. However, the calf wasn’t in the mood for pictures. It hopped down from the wall, its head lowered, seemingly uninterested in posing. The persistent tourist adjusted his position, bending down to get a better shot. When the man reached out to touch the side of the elephant’s head, the calf gave him a playful kick on the backside with its back foot. Onlookers burst into laughter as the startled tourist jumped from the impact. Though the man quickly moved away, the baby elephant followed him briefly before the tourist playfully push

Mother Elephant Rescued from Poacher’s Snare After Being Found in Agony in Zimbabwe

  A wildlife rescue team in Zimbabwe saved the life of an elephant named Martha after she was found limping with a poacher’s snare tightly wrapped around her leg. The wire, which had cut deeply into her flesh, left her in severe pain and unable to walk properly. Martha was spotted by the Musango Island Safari Camp owner, who immediately alerted local conservationist Catherine Norton. Norton, 58, quickly mobilized her team to help Martha, who was accompanied by her young calf. “We had to act fast. Without intervention, she would have died,” Norton explained. The team sedated the elephant, cleaned the infected wound, administered antibiotics, and carefully removed the wire with cutters.

The lioness was seen stalking the young elephant before launching herself onto its back. However, she lacked the strength to overpower the calf on her own. Just as more lions arrived to assist, the situation took a turn—an entire herd of elephants appeared, coming to the calf’s defense. James Gifford described the moment: “When I saw the elephant herd approaching, the lions stayed low. It didn’t seem like the elephants noticed or saw the lions as a threat.” The lions waited for the adult elephants to pass before two lionesses saw their chance and attacked the isolated calf. “The youngster was terrified, and though one lione
