Schleich: African Elephant Calf

At birth, a baby elephant falls from a height of around7 centimetres. But this doesn't harm it.

Baby elephants are still quite clumsy after their birth and must first learnhow to handle their trunks. They are still not able to feed themselves with it,so suckle from their mothers for the first year. In the process, they gain agood kilo in weight each day. It is very important that they grow big quicklybecause a lion or crocodile can hardly cause any harm to healthy, adult animals.If a predator does come dangerously close, the adults form a circle around theyoung. They are well protected in the middle.
