When elephant baby dies what will they do?
An amazing thing about elephants is their sensitivity about death. When a elephant dies the herd has a funeral. They are silent like they were remembering the elephant. They pick about the bones and hold them. They will try to identify the elephant by looking at the skull. Elephants do not act like this around other dead animals. If a member of a herd starts to die the herd tries to bring it back to life by lifting it. Elephants also cry when a herd member dies. Later if the herd passes the same spot where a family member died the herd will stand still and be silent. These animals are truly human.

Yes, elephants have very established social order. Each herd has a matriarch, and consist of adult females, and young males and females. The mother, sisters, aunts, and female cousins will raise the young elephants. They will show them where routes to water are, where to find food, specific behaviors, and other things the young elephants need to know. They pass down traditions, sometimes that are specific to their herd. As elephants get older, the females usually stay in the herd. Males will leave at about four years of age. They will go out on their own, or sometimes join smaller all male herds. Sometimes, if a younger elephant is separated from the herd, another herd will take them in. A female elephant will adopt him in, and other females will act as the aunts or relatives that help to raise and teach it.
