Baby Elephant Finds Love & Empathy With Other Orphan Elephants

Thanks to reporter Yashar Ali for pointing up this story.

Elephants are imminently watchable. Intelligent, empathetic and extremely communicative.

But many baby elephants can die from loneliness. They need the love of a herd to live.

Ndotto, born prematurely, was rescued by Sheldrick Wildlife when he was just 2 days old .

He became attached to his keepers and didn't want to play with other orphans, until Mbegu, an older orphan, came along.

Watch this beautiful story below.
