Once the baby is born, within two days it is ready to start travelling. The mother, aunt and it's sisters will all help to care for it until it is strong enough to look after itself. The herd will not travel fastly so it can keep up. The mother shows it what plant are edible or not. The baby will pretty much learn from the rest of the herd. At birth the baby elephant while will wiegh about 105 kilograms. The mother and her sisters ( if she has any ) will take care of the new born until it is ready to take on the wild by itself. The mother only stays with her baby for about two weeks and then its learning time ( how to hunt, run and protect itself from other animals ).
