The video shows the baby trying desperately to get up while all the time falling right back, while the mum waits patiently by its side. But the determined little elephant will not give up and perseveres, repeatedly trying to find its feet.

The video, it turns out was shot moments after the calf was born, and it seems out baby elephant was in a hurry to start on his adventures in life.

With a little bit of help from mummy dearest and her trunk, the elephant managed to stand for seconds before it falls to the ground again.

The video was shot by photographer Grant Atkinson in Northern Botswana, moments after its birth.
