The Birth of an Elephant

Good video of an elephant giving birth to her baby girl at a safari park on the Indonesian island of Bali last September. WARNING: Extremely graphic and possibly Not Safe for Work, so I’ll disable the URL:

Don’t worry, the baby’s not stillborn, although it looks like it at first. Mama has to do her thing, the elephant equivalent of a human doctor slapping a baby’s butt.

Wow. Thanks for posting that.
