Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development (HERD) in South Africa takes orphaned elephant calves and introduces them into an adoptive pack known as the Jabulani Herd so that they can live happily.

Even the elephants know the importance of unity. In fact, according to The Independent, elephants are known to live in big herds where female elephants will usually look after each others’ calves.

With the elephants’ way of staying together, their survival rate grows exponentially. At the same time, they are also known to develop close relationships between members of the family and friends.
