Once the baby is born, within two days it is ready to start traveling. 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 fast 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 weigh 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).

it protect is young from any animal eating an elephants baby

The elephant baby is called as Calf. The bond between the elephant and calf is so incredible, so that the elephant will fight till its death for its calf. So, in many cases when calf needs medical assistance,the forest rangers and medical crew can't attend due to the very same nature of its mother.

The female calf can stay with the herd, while the male has to step out of the herd when it turns 12.

the following are the names of baby elephants in Tamil.

Kayantalai=கயந்தலை, Potakam=போதகம், Tudiyadi=துடியடி, Kalabham= களபம், Kayanmuni=கயமுனி

Elephants give birth to their young around 21 to 23 months after mating. The mother is responsible for providing milk to the calf, but the whole herd looks after and teaches since the young is important to the survival of the herd. The herd crowds around the calf to protect it from any danger.

Elephants are very large mammals (the largest on earth, in fact), who, like most mammals, feed their babies with milk. Elephant mothers are very careful and affectionate with their children, they provide assistance and guidance for them during their first years. Usually when males grow up, they go on to find their own group of females to mate with, whereas females stay with their mothers and grandmothers as part of their pack.
an elephant cares for it's young buy doing some stuff but i don' t what kind of stuff so just get of my behine god

Elephants live in a matriarchal society, with a female heirarchy. Their herds are populated with sisters, aunts, cousins, mothers, grandmothers, daughters, and so on. Mothers teach their daughters how to be mothers.

When a baby elephant is born, all the females in the herd help raise the baby at various times under various conditions. The mother elephant has primary care of her calf, but she will teach her daughter how to mother the baby, too. All the females will band together to protect a baby from attack from predators and they watch out for each other's babies.

An elephant cools itself down by throwing water over itself using its trunk. They also like to lay in the mud, stand in the shade, or wade in the water.

An elephant nurses its calf by having the baby stand under her, then feel around with its trunk until it finds her teats. Then, it puts its mouth on the teat and suckles.
