Who Runs The World?
The males usually leave the herd when they hit puberty, to go looking for females from other herds but the females travel together, a matriarch taking care of the entire family including all the young ones. They are not used to abandoning each other in times of need but this case was different. They travel in a herd, with a matriarch and help each other in times of danger and need. That is what a herd tried to do when a baby elephant needed them, but they could not, with all their power, help him.
