Elephants live in family groups for many generations, therefore they never go on their own. Orphaned elephants aren't alone either. Usually another female elephant cares for that elephant.

Their mothers stop caring for them when they are four to five years old because it takes a while for the elephants to learn everything. Once they have learned, they become a member of the group who protects their family.
