Grieving Mother Elephant Weeps All Night Beside Calf Crushed by Truck in Malaysia

A tragic incident happened on Mother's Day in Malaysia. Where a baby elephant came under a truck and died. The mother elephant did not move from near the dead body of her child for hours and stood there. Seeing this moment, people's eyes became moist.


So what if she is an animal, after all she is also a mother. The affection of animals is as true and deep as that of us humans. They also have the same attachment to their children as our mother has to us children.


No mother can see her child in pain. When a mother's child dies in front of her eyes, her whole world ends there. Something similar happened with an elephant, whose child died in front of her eyes.


Baby elephant came under a truck

Recently a Malaysian man shared a video that made everyone's eyes moist. This video is from the night time, in which a baby elephant is lying pressed under a truck. Its mother elephant is standing nearby, who is not ready to move from that place. She is standing quietly near her dead child, as if she is taking care of it.


Mother stood in front of the dead body of the child

The video was shared on Instagram by a user named @ajpyro. He told that this tragic incident happened on Mother's Day. He wrote, 'Mother's love is not limited to humans only, it is found in every living being.'


When this accident happened, the forest department and rescue team reached the spot, but the mother elephant did not move an inch. She stood there peacefully, shedding tears from her eyes. It seemed as if she was bidding a final farewell to her child. This scene also brought tears to the eyes of the onlookers.


People became emotional after watching the video

People also gave very emotional reactions on this post. Many people said that this incident shows that animals also feel like us.


One user wrote, 'Very sad! We should not forget that we humans are destroying their homes.' Another said, 'This accident would not have happened if the truck driver had driven slowly.'
