A herd of elephants have an incredible interaction with the bones of a rhino that passed away of natural causes.
Elephants are known to mourn and interact with the remains of their own species but many people don't realise they show similar interest in the remains of other species too. Elephants have complex emotions and are one of the few animals apart from humans that are aware of their own mortality. Because of that awareness they mourn the loss of other elephants even those that were not closely related, and are known to travel great distances to visit the last resting place of elephants that have passed on. Elephants awareness of their own mortality makes them inquisitive about the remains of other animals too and scenes like this are more common than you would think.
This is an upgraded, remastered, re-edited re-release of a shorter video that was posted back in 2010 taken from the original archive wildlife footage shot back then.

Filmed in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa

About Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos:
The purpose of the channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.
