I think he reads their behaviour wrong saying it's almost as if they want us to be part of the celebration. Not at all. Quite the opposite. What they are doing is herding the newborn away from him. They surround the cub and face the cameraman with their ears wide open, which is a defensive posture, forming a protective circle. In fact what they want is being left alone. Like most animals do, especially when they are vulnerable. (And this is a man who goes about putting tags and cameras on wild animals for a living. Please leave them alone. How would you feel if someone you don't know or care about tagged you or your family )

Only because of this did I learn that elephants secrete from their temporal glands. a quick search on Google reveals we dont understand much about why they do that and what function it has. How interesting?

What's not to love about elephants? The way they protect their young and grieve their dead is remarkable. Every time I watch them my eyes start to water.

Why does the BBC insist on putting their talking head big fat face on screen, when that valuable space could be occupied by the subject of the film.

I seriously doubt they want thieving murderous humans to be part of their celebration, as you claim. You should not be anywhere near that baby!
