Elephants are known for being some of the most intelligent creatures in the animal kingdom as they experience many of the same emotions that humans do. Now, a video is going viral that shows this in an adorable way. In the video, you’ll see an elephant who was rescued fourteen years ago return to visit her human rescuers so she could introduce them to her newborn calf.

Loijuk was only 5 months when rescuers from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) found her stranded alone in a drought-stricken area of northern Kenya. Once Loijuk had been nursed back to health, she spent her childhood at the sanctuary surrounded by an adopted herd of other orphaned and rescued elephants just like her.

When she grew up, Loijuk returned to live in the wild, but she often returns to SWT’s Ithumba Stockades so she can visit her human caregivers. Her most recent visit on September 1 was a very special one, however, because she had just given birth to a female calf of her own, and she wanted to introduce her baby to her human rescuers.

“It is so special to witness Loijuk welcome and encourage the interaction, inviting head Keeper Benjamin to enjoy her newborn baby, unperturbed by their shenanigans together, and to immediately see the joy this new life brings the whole Ithumba Unit of dependent orphans and ex-orphan’s alike,” the SWT staffers said. “Watching her heal, flourish and transition to a wild independent life again in the span of 14 years, surrounded by ex-orphans and wild elephant friends, and now to see her transform into a mother is the ultimate affirmation of a job well done.”

The calf, who has since been named Lilli, was the 31st recorded baby born to an elephant rescued by SWT. Knowing that it is the dry season in Kenya right now, Loijuk has stayed close to the wildlife shelter so she and her calf can enjoy extra support from the human rescuers until things cool down.
