Hi there! Did you know that baby elephants and their mums have a special way of talking to each other? It's not with words like we do, but by using cuddles and touches!

When a baby elephant wants to say, "I love you" or "I'm happy," it might snuggle up close and touch its mum gently with its trunk or body. The mum elephant also cuddles her baby back to show she cares and to keep her baby safe.

This cuddling helps them feel close and happy. It's like their own special language made of hugs and touches.

So, when you see pictures or videos of baby elephants hugging their mums with their trunks, now you know it's their way of talking and saying how much they love each other!
