Another mother elephant Sighted in Lake Manyara national park carrying her dead - almost rotting baby - a mourning ritual many elephant mothers have been seen performing. She moves with it everywhere, only putting it down when drinking water or grazing then, pick again. Herd members comfort her all the time. It's something rare and emotional 😢🐘💔 . . . #africansafari #wildlifesafari #elephantlove #AfricanWildlife #wildlifeconservation #bigfivesafari #ecotours #ecotourism #bigfive #africansafar
