As a 5.2-magnitude earthquake hit, the elephants at San Diego Zoo Safari Park instinctively organized to shield their young. Captured in a compelling 68-second video, this event happened in the early morning as the elephants, including Ndlula, Umngani, and Khosi, were initially seen standing together. The tremor caused the herd to momentarily scatter. However, the older elephants quickly regrouped to form a protective circle around the two young calves, Zuli and Mkhaya, showcasing their natural instincts in the face of danger.
