Cute moment newborn elephant tumbles when taking its first steps

The elephant was born early last Saturday morning at Pairi Daiza, a privately owned zoo in Brugelette, in the Hainaut province of Belgium. Footage shows the baby in the moments after it is born and its mother stands over it as it makes a failed attempt to stand on its feet - before it eventually unsteadily succeeds. The female elephant's birth - the third female born out of four births at the zoo - was branded by head keeper Rob Conachie as 'a fantastic step forward' in protecting the endangered species of elephant. The baby's birth was also the second elephant birth at the zoo this year. There are only 38,000 of that species of elephant left in the wild and Mr Conachie added every new birth, especially when they are female, is 'critically important'.
