Not every difficult birth in cattle requires a C-section. In this case, the cow was experiencing dystocia (difficult birth), so the calf was assisted out through manual traction. After assessing the cow and ensuring the calf was correctly positioned, the limbs were carefully secured and controlled traction was applied...

Nature can be beautiful — but it can also be heartbreaking. 💔 In this rare and emotional scene, a mother appears to have died during a difficult birth, and sadly the newborn calf did not survive either. Although giraffes usually give birth successfully while standing, complications can sometimes occur. Prolonged labor, malposition of the calf, or exhaustion can lead to tragic outcomes for both mother and calf.

A heartwarming act of compassion from Bagalkot. When a cow was struggling to deliver her calf, Santosh Alagur and his team rushed to the spot and safely assisted with the delivery. They later cared for the mother cow and provided her with food. In a touching gesture, they can also be seen applying a protective black dot to the cow and calf, a traditional practice believed to ward off the evil eye. Gau Seva is a noble service. May Bhagavan Mahadeva’s blessings always be upon them. 🙏🐄 #GauSeva #Bagalkot #Mahadeva

Desperate mother wouldn’t stop until someone saved her baby calf 🐄❤️ A desperate mother cow whose calf was stuck in a pond and couldn’t get out. The mother cow kept approaching a car, mooing, looking at the man as if she were “begging” for help for her baby. Although he was very afraid of the large cow, the man bravely came closer and helped rescue the calf. The mother cow stood nearby watching, not attacking, but seemingly asking him to save her baby. It was a touching moment when the cow and her calf were reunited and happily back together. Bless you, Sir! 💖

In Haldwani, There was a rumour that a head of a calf was thrown at the gate of a school near a temple. Right wing organisations immediately gathered to protest chanting religious slogans and vandalised a Muslim's restaurant. Upon Police investigation, CCTV footage showed a dog dragging the remains from a nearby forest area. It was found that a cow gave birth to a calf in a nearby area and parts of the carcass were pulled out by stray animal.

An Asian elephant calf has been born at Whipsnade Zoo in the UK The baby was born to the elephant Donna after a 22-month pregnancy. This is not her first calf. The newborn weighs around 110 kg and stands less than one meter tall. The zoo says the birth is especially important because Asian elephants are endangered. Staff describe the arrival of the calf as “hope for the future of the species.”

A van stopped out the front this morning and the driver came in to tell us there was a small calf on the road. This was a new calf that was born yesterday in the paddock just over from our house. People assume we're the farmers because our house is the closest to the road, and surrounded by farmland. We're not farmers. 🙄 Although I have often thought farming would probably have suited us.... So hubby went out and found the calf. The man had chased it up the driveway across the road. They weren't home. Heroic hubby carried the calf down the driveway, across the road and up our drive with his sore back that he hurt at the gym the other day. Newborn calves are heavy! Especially when you're just one week back at the gym after 12 years off! 😅 I opened the gate to the paddock out the back and we managed to get the calf in there. It proved to be a stubborn wee thing.... But the poor baby. 🐄 It was shaking and miserable, looking over at the cows in the other paddock where it's mother was. So hubby goes back out into the cold foggy morning, leaving his half prepared breakfast to try to get the calf down the race and back to the paddock with the cows. I wished him luck having seen how stubborn it was when we were trying to get it through the gate! Well blow me down! It followed him like a dog! 😳 He does have a way with dogs - and obviously baby cows like him too. 😂

On September 4, 2023 The first released an article about The First red heifer in 2000 years which seemingly fulfils Bible prophecy and signals 'end of days' being found. The Heifer was born on August 28, 2018 so it’s strange that they released that article last month. MSN and PBS covered the story after their release. It announced the birth on its YouTube channel and claimed the red female calf "brings the promise of reinstating Biblical purity to the world". The video shows the calf with its mother and proclaims: “A perfectly red heifer was born in the land of Israel”. The calf has since undergone “extensive examination by rabbinical experts” who confirmed she is a “viable candidate for the Biblical red heifer”. The prophecy says the cow must be red "without blemish". In both Christianity and Judaism, red heifers feature in tales about the "end of times", I’m asking everyone of the world to unite. It matters more now than ever. Mirror UK report:

Jolene Goes Looking for Her Calf: When a Mother Cow Calls “Dad the Human” for Help 💖 Jolene is a rescued Longhorn cow who now lives with the herd at an animal sanctuary founded by Lester and his family after Hurricane Harvey. Here, the cows are cared for for life. They are not sold or sent to slaughter, but are allowed to live together in a safe environment. Sir Scotty is Jolene’s calf, a little Longhorn boy given a name with the air of a knight. The two live together at the sanctuary, where the young calf can grow up beside his mother. That morning, Jolene and the herd were let out into the pasture. The calf was still small and had fallen asleep in the tall grass, so his mother could not see him. Jolene immediately became distressed. She bellowed, running all over the pasture, looking first one way and then another. The longer she could not find her calf, the more restless she became, looking so troubled that anyone watching could tell how worried she was. After searching on her own for a while, the mother cow turned to “Dad the human”, the carer who regularly looked after the herd. She bellowed and looked at him with an almost reproachful expression, as if asking: “Where is Sir Scotty? Did you take my baby?” The way the mother cow went from searching for her calf herself to turning to “Dad the human” makes the scene feel like a very clear request for help: “I can’t find my baby. Dad, please help me look.” What is fascinating is that cows are far more complex than they may appear. Mother and calf can recognise one another through their individual calls. Studies have found that mothers respond more strongly to the calls of their own calves than to those of other calves, while calves can also recognise their mothers’ calls. Cows can also remember people they regularly interact with and respond differently depending on how they are treated. Gentle interactions, such as speaking softly or stroking a cow when it is comfortable, can help build a more friendly relationship between cows and people. That is why there is something particularly special about the mother cow turning to “Dad the human”. She is not only looking for her calf. She is also turning to someone she knows, as though she understands that he may be able to help her find the little one who has gone missing. Then the calf was found. The mother cow calmed down as soon as she saw him. Her restlessness disappeared, and mother and calf were together again in the pasture. Anyone who has spent time around cows may not be surprised by a story like this. Some cows enjoy being stroked, some like staying close to their carers, some remember the people who regularly call their names, and each has its own way of showing trust. When cows are given a safe place to live and cared for gently, their endearing personalities also have a chance to emerge. Some enjoy being stroked, some like staying close to people, while others remember their carers and turn to them when they need help. Perhaps that is one of the most meaningful things about animal rescue. When a cow is given the chance to live in a peaceful home, people can see that there is more to her than an animal raised for meat. She can be a devoted mother searching for her calf, a cow who knows to turn to “Dad the human” when she needs help, and a four-legged friend who simply enjoys being loved. And it all begins with something very simple: giving her a place to live.

Long message Warning ⚠️ It is a long message but worth reading if you believe in 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. This is also a true story of struggles of life in the wild and triumph over sadness. On the evening of 3rd March in Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve near Bannari, an ailing female elephant with two of her babies including a sub-adult male elephant and a very young female baby elephant was found to be lying in a distressed condition by the Tamil Nadu foresters. The moment we got to know about this a team of expert veterinarians was pressed into service. Doctors found the ailing mother to be too weak to move and separated from her native herd. Her two babies were traumatised and started running uncontrollably in panic. The team immediately guided the young sub-adult elephant back to the herd and quickly attended to the ailing female and the baby elephant. Steps were undertaken as per the TN Forest Department SOP Guidelines for handling calf rescue situations, ensuring the calf was well hydrated, and secured in a safe, stress-free environment with minimal human intervention. With the Veterinary team coming to a conclusion that there was almost nil chance of survival of the mother elephant, efforts were initiated on 4th morning to re-unite the calf with the native herd with her sibling. We have a firm resolve to give the best chance to rewilding efforts rather than taking the easy option to make the calf a captive elephant in a camp. We swiftly organised teams from Anamalai and Mudumalai, consisting of experienced frontline staff, veterinarians, and mahouts to aid in the reunification efforts. After identifying the native herd with the help of Drones and night vision cameras at around 8 pm, the calf was brought safely onto a department vehicle and taken to the site of the same native herd. In a swift process, the calf was reunited with another elderly female of the herd, after ensuring her capability of lactating and supporting the young baby. As expected, the female and the rest of the herd took the baby elephant under their wings lovingly. The reuniting team visited the field to monitor the progress and was rewarded with a wonderful sight of the baby elephant alongside the female crossing the road with the herd at 9:30 am on the 5th morning. This is the latest among multiple successful calf relocation attempts made by the TamilNadu forest department, and the very first such effort in Sathyamangalam landscape. It throws light on the incredible fact that elephants across the landscape share a common social behaviour and a deep bond. The sincere attempt is also a testament to the exemplary efforts and hardwork of foot soldiers and officers of the TN Forest Department. Kudos to the entire team including CF Thiru Rajkumar, DD Thiru Sudhakar, FD MTR Thiru Venkatesh, FD ATR Thiru Ramasubramaniam, Dr Rajesh Kumar,Dr.Sukumar, Dr Kalaivanan, Dr Vijayaraghavan, Dr.Sadhasivam, Dr.K.Kumar, Research Scientist AIWC. Ramkumar and Lalit - Who stayed with the calf the entire two days. Mahout Kirumaaran and team from Mudumalai who played a key role in reuniting the calf with the herd. Mahouts and frontline staff of Anamalai led by Forest Range officers Pugazhendi and Manikandan. TN forest department staff of Sathyamangalam Tiger Reserve led by FD, DD and Range officers of STR.

Ex-orphan Zongoloni was desperate to be a mum. When Murera gave birth to the first calf of our Umani Springs herd, Mwana, in 2023, Zongoloni made a number of not so subtle — and unsuccessful — attempts to kidnap the baby. Two years on, having since witnessed herd mates Lima Lima and Sonje becomes mums, it was Zongoloni's turn! On 22nd April 2025, she gave birth to a perfect little boy, Zigi. A truly wonderful moment for Zongoloni, who as a calf experienced the trauma of her own mum being shot and fatally wounded by poachers. Thanks to donor support, we were positioned to rescue and raise Zongoloni, and today we get to enjoy seeing her living in a protected wilderness, with the next generation of her family by her side. Read about the moment Zongoloni became a mum:

A sperm whale mother has to leave her newborn at the surface and swim half a kilometre straight down to find food. She is gone about 40 minutes. Her calf cannot follow and cannot defend itself. So somebody else stays. Researchers off the Galapagos worked out what was happening by watching who was at the surface and when. Groups with a calf in them dived less in step with each other than groups without one. The whales were staggering their dives, so that as one went down another was already coming up, and the gap where nobody was minding the baby closed. They checked whether this was just the mothers being careful. It was not. Adults with no relation to the calf were doing it too, taking turns, one after another through the day. The calves get passed along a rota. A young sperm whale spends its day beside a series of different adults while its mother is in the dark a thousand feet below hunting squid. In the Sargasso Sea, where the groups are bigger, mothers formed proper circles and took shifts. Babysitters there let other mothers' calves nurse from them. In the smaller Caribbean groups there were not enough females for that, so a calf would be left with one close relative instead. Killer whales follow sperm whale pods specifically to pick off calves. The whale on duty at the surface is the reason that mostly fails. Then there is what happened off Dominica in July 2023, filmed by drone. A sperm whale went into labour and whales from an entirely separate family, one that had no reason to be there, arrived hours before the birth and stayed for hours after it. They lifted and supported the labouring mother and the newborn between them. Staying at the surface costs a sperm whale a great deal. One of the researchers put it plainly. It is an enormous investment in someone who is not even your kin, and by the strict rules of evolution you should not do it. Sperm whale mothers have been at this for something like 36 million years, and the answer they arrived at was other women. Nobody has improved on it since.

Brianna, a 2-year-old dairy cow used in the dairy industry and pregnant at the time, was being sent to slaughter. She broke through the door of a double-decker transport truck and jumped from a height of about 8 feet (nearly 2.5 meters) in an attempt to save her baby 💔 Animal rescuer Mike was called to the scene and rescued Brianna. At her new sanctuary, Brianna gave birth, and her baby calf was named Winter. Mother Brianna and baby Winter are always together — and even now, whenever you see Brianna, her little daughter is never far behind 💖✨

In March 2014, Laura Gallazzi’s baby was d*capitated during childbirth, with doctors having to perform a c-section to remove the head of her child. In this harrowing interview she recounts the terrifying ordeal. Laura was admitted to hospital after her waters broke early at 25 weeks. Dr Vaishnavy Laxman attempted to carry out the delivery naturally and urged the patient to push whilst herself applying traction to the baby's legs. It caused the infant's legs, arms and torso to become detached, leaving the head still in his mother's womb. Two other doctors subsequently carried out a C-section on the woman to remove the infant's head. Baby Steven’s head was 're-attached' to his body so his mother could hold him before she said goodbye. It is believed the child was already dead before he was d*capitated during the botched 15 minute delivery. In 2018, a panel determined that Dr. Vaishnavy Laxman's actions did not constitute serious misconduct, allowing her to return to work.

Two other doctors subsequently carried out a C-section on the woman to remove the infant's head. Baby Steven’s head was 're-attached' to his body so his mother could hold him before she said goodbye. It is believed the child was already dead before he was d*capitated during the botched 15 minute delivery. In 2018, a panel determined that Dr. Vaishnavy Laxman's actions did not constitute serious misconduct, allowing her to return to work.

Maggie Moo was separated from from her mother shortly after birth. The herd had been rounded up by the Ranchers but she was still too young to move. I remember the mother crying out trying to stay with her calf when they were being rounded up but the dogs and cowboys drove her away. Maggie Moo was probably hidden in a bush and went unnoticed. It was probably about a week later I was out in the garden and noticed the lone calf standing at the fence staring at me with despair. She had been starving without any milk for the past week and had been drinking muddy water to survive. I realised what had happened and went to approach the calf with a leash. She didn’t run and I put the leash around her neck but she was too weak to even move. I picked her up, put her over my shoulders and carried her up the hill to the house. I gave her milk, washed her, and she slept in the yard. I got in contact with the rancher and told them what had happened and for them to come and get her. They told me that I saved the calf’s life and so she belonged to me now. Long story short she survived and is full grown and healthy. She now lives her best life in a pasture with her Horse friends.

Back in late 2017, in eastern Poland, a reddish-brown cow walked out of her farm one night and into the Białowieża Forest. It’s an ancient stretch of woodland on the border with Belarus, home to wolves and around 600 wild European bison. Everyone assumed she’d come back when the cold set in, or be picked off by predators. Months later, a birdwatcher named Adam Zbyryt was on a routine outing in the forest when he noticed something off in a herd of about 50 bison. One of the animals was the wrong colour. He looked through his binoculars. It was the cow. She’d joined the herd. She was eating what they ate, moving when they moved, and looked perfectly healthy. The bison expert who later confirmed the sighting put it simply: “With the bison, it’s safe from wolves.” Conservationists eventually agreed she’d have to be returned to a farm before mating season. A bison-cow hybrid calf would be too large for her to deliver safely, and would risk diluting the gene pool of an already endangered species.

A life-or-death situation, twofold: a mother elephant and her tiny calf had fallen into a well and were hopelessly stuck within its watery depths. The mum was submerged, using her trunk as a snorkel, whilst her baby struggled to keep her head above water. When our teams arrived, the exhausted calf couldn't tread water much longer. Immediate action was needed. We guided ropes around the calf and dragged her to solid ground, carrying her to shade, away from her mother's distressed calls. Meanwhile, our bowser and supplemental water pump began the slow work of filling the deep well, raising the water level so the mother could float to freedom. Hours later, when the water reached the lip, we threw ropes around the mum and used the bowser and Land Cruiser to pull in tandem and haul her out. The moment she stood on all four feet, we released her calf. They ran straight to each other, reuniting with palpable relief. We flew home to the most wonderful sight below: baby happily suckling from her mum, finally free and together. This ⬆️ epic emergency unfolded back in 2024; many more emergencies have unfolded since then. In the past week, we've rescued a calf from a well, and attended 14 veterinary treatments.

Got ourselves a new calf this morning. Mama wanted nothing to do with him. No idea why. She's given us two or three calves before and been a good cow, but today she was done. So we brought him home. He took a bottle. He's been up walking around, alert, breathing good, good size. Just having a tough day with mom. We put him in the calf hutch and let him take it easy. It's hot and smoky out anyway. We'll try taking him back up tomorrow, see if she changes her mind. But if not, we'll bottle him through like we do the others. 68 more to go this week.
