HIGHLY COMMENDABLE RUNNER-UP - Best Video Clip 2019

Comment from the judges:

Cuteness overload! This baby elephant’s attempts to drink muddy water from a slippery bank, when he has not yet mastered his trunk, amuses us all. On the other hand, this also reminds us of the battle for survival in nature. In the final frames an adult elephant passes behind our little warrior, emphasising how tiny he is. Congratulations to Peter Reitze, a worthy runner-up in Best Video Clip 2019!

Elephants have 26 teeth over their lifetime: 2 tusks (incisors, which grow continually) and 24 molars (four at a time, each set replaced six times in the elephant's lifetime) • Molars may be 30 cm long and weigh 3,5 to 5 kg • New elephant molars emerge at the back of the jaw, and move forward to replace old molars

Why do they knock down a tree like that? There does not seem to be anything to eat at the top :-? Maybe it easier to strap off the bark -O-

I think they want the dry seeds at the top to be shaken down. 0*\
