Mama Elephant Boldly Kicks Crocodile Out of Mud Hole So Her Baby Can Bathe
Mama Elephant Boldly Kicks Crocodile Out of Mud Hole So Her Baby Can Bathe originally appeared on PetHelpful. If you're a mom, you know that Mama Bear mode is real, especially when your child's safety is on the line; nothing stands in your way! Wildlife Rescuers recently shared the perfect example of this instinct in action: a video of a protective mama elephant kicking a crocodile out of a mud hole so her baby could enjoy a peaceful, fear-free bath. The video is short—just 20 seconds—but it packs a punch. It starts with a few bystanders watching a mama elephant and her baby enjoying a mud bath. Watch what happens the moment this protective mama notices an unexpected guest lurking in the mud. She doesn't hesitate for a second; she was not messing around when it came to protecting her little one! Make sure your sound is on so you can hear the mama elephant's warnings to the crocodile! Go mama! We love how, as she tried to stomp on the crocodile, she was also protecting her baby by wrapping her trunk around them. She was going to make sure that her baby was going to take their bath in peace without worrying about being eaten! Commenters had a lot to say about Wildlife Rescuers' video of the very protective mother. One commenter pointed out, "You never mess with a mother that is protecting her baby." @Stacy added, "Awesome job, mom!!!!" @CityGirlWestTexas agreed, "Momma says 'not today Satan, not today!' LOL!" @Dean shared, "That's right, the crocodile says 'Oh h*ll no! I don't want any of that!'" @beagirl13 added, "That sounds so beautiful. That crocodile found out that day…."Are Elephant Good Moms? There are some species in the animal kingdom that don't have that natural mothering instinct and don't make the best moms. Pandas, hamsters, harp seals, and praying mantis' are known to either completely abandon or sometimes even eat their babies! But not elephants, elephants are great moms. Conservation International explains, "Elephant mothers carry their babies for nearly two years before giving birth. Then they ensure their babies get the best food, teach their children the most useful skills, and show their children how to lead the herd during hard times." Elephants teach their babies how to pick the best plants for eating (and which ones to avoid), how to defend against predators, keep them safe, and teach them how to navigate steep embankments. The teaching process isn't quick or short; babies stay with their moms for up to 16 years, nursing for the first 4 to 6 years!

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHOPPERS have been left totally divided by a £5 teacher gift from B&M. So with the end of school term fast approaching, if you aren't sure what to get your little one's teacher, you've come to the right place. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Bargain hunters have been left divided by a teacher gift from B&M Credit: Getty 2 While some "love it", others believed teachers would 'hate' it Credit: Facebook One bargain hunter was left stunned when browsing the aisles in her local B&M store, when she spotted a gift that's sure to be great for all chocolate loving teachers - and even better, it's now been reduced. But while Stacy thought the purse-friendly gift would be 'thoughtful', not everyone was as keen. Posting on BARGAIN LOVERS Poundland, Home Bargains, B&M, Primark, The Range & More, a public Facebook group with 855,100 members, Stacy uploaded a snap of the Thank You Teacher Chocolate Card, leaving many open-mouthed. Alongside her post, the savvy shopper penned: 'Spotted these in B&M. I know the chocolate isn't worth £5 but thought they were still thoughtful.' According to B&M bosses, this affordable and "unique" find, which is said to now be scanning at tills for just 59p, is the perfect gift for any teacher at the end of term. It includes an 'irresistible selection' of chocolate favourites from Cadbury, Galaxy, Nestle and more. It's been hailed as a 'thoughtful and delicious gift' for teachers, to say thank you for all their help and support. So if you know that your child's teacher loves munching on Twirl or Boost bars in between lessons, you'll need to move quickly to nab this. Stacy's post has quickly amassed 466 likes and 119 comments, but Facebook users were left totally divided by the high-street buy. While some thought it was an 'absolute bargain', others described it as 'clutter' and believed teachers would 'hate' it. I'm a teacher & there are four end of term gifts I can't STAND receiving Not only this, but numerous shoppers claimed to have spotted the gift at a reduced price, as one beamed: 'Down to 59p today! Just saw them.' Whilst someone else gasped: 'Just saw them down to 59p!' Love this! Facebook user Thrilled with the gift, someone else wrote: 'Chocolate bars are over £1 each so to say you get the chocolate and the board for a fiver is an absolute bargain.' Meanwhile, another user penned: 'Love this!' Should you buy a teacher a gift? IF you are wondering whether or not to buy your child's teacher an end-of-year gift, look no further... As the summer holidays fast approach, Fabulous Senior Digital Writer and mum-of-two Sarah Bull weighs in on whether you should feel obliged to buy your kids' teachers a present to mark the end of term. Sarah said: "It can be pricey trying to keep the kids entertained during six weeks off school. "But before the end of term, parents all over the country are also trying to budget for gifts for their kids' teachers too. "With teachers, teaching assistants, SEN specialists and other beloved staff members to buy for, it can be an expensive business. "And while lots of schools actively discourage parents from spending their money on end-of-term presents for teachers, I consider it an obligation. "After all - I know how tough my kids can be at home, and their teachers have to keep them in check for the majority of the day - so don't they deserve a token of appreciation? "I also wouldn't want my children to feel left out when their friends arrive at school armed with pressies for their teachers. "While some parents go all out with gifts, with alcohol and flowers popular choices, I'll be doing my best to stay at the £5 mark for each of the four staff members I'll be buying for. "And with some fab options in stores like Poundland, Home Bargains and B&M, it should be easy for me to stick to my budget." But at the same time, not everyone was keen on the gift, as one person said: 'Teachers must roll their eyes.' Another added: 'Teachers would rather have wine.' The sort of people who would buy this probably also have 'Live Laugh Love' on the wall at home Facebook user A third commented: 'Teachers must hate these presents and the mugs, key rings etc. Just club together as parents, fiver each, and get them a voucher. Cheaper and easier!' Someone else advised: 'Just give them the £5 worth of chocolate. More clutter isn't usually on the top of a teacher's wish list.' And a fifth cheekily joked: 'The sort of people who would buy this probably also have 'Live Laugh Love' on the wall at home.'
