Elephants are very smart animals, and to see an elephant who was almost killed by his mother, yet cries for 5 hours when he was taken away from her, is very saddening. It shows they have emotions very similar to humans.
Zookeepers said she had been showing signs of depression,and this may have contributed to her attacking him. The little guy was heartbroken to be taken from her.
