Incredible teamwork: brave elephants protect a weak calf from a lion.

A group of elephants worked together to protect a young elephant from lionesses who were planning to eat it. A photographer named James Gifford caught the lionesses in Chobe National Park, Botswana, as they tried to catch the baby elephant. But the elephants kept the baby elephant safe and scared the lionesses away. It was a great moment!

James said that lions came across a bunch of elephants but did not attack them. The elephants didn’t see the lions as a threat. After the elephants went by, the lions attacked a young elephant that was still there. They knew they couldn’t fight the whole group.
