When we think of elephants, we usually imagine big, strong animals that stand for wisdom. But their early years are quite different. Baby elephants, called calves, have many cute habits, funny traits, and even take a very long time to be born. They may be bigger than most other newborn animals, but the way they grow and learn is far from ordinary.
They spend a lot of time learning how to use their trunks, playing around, and even throwing little tantrums. Calves depend a lot on their mothers and the herd, which makes family very important for them. And just like human babies, they are curious about everything and love to explore the world in their own way.
