Footage shows the grieving mother moving around the limp, lifeless body of the baby elephant in the village of Tumkur, India on 26 September. Villagers and forest officials tried to separate the two by making loud noises and setting off firecrackers, but the mother stuck by its child’s side. A group of another 12 elephants was spotted nearby consoling the mother who eventually separated from her child.
