A calf clambering onto another calf or juvenile who is lying down. A calf or juvenile lying down, or getting down on its knees, is an invitation to younger individuals to climb on top. Young elephants enjoy this game of Climb-Upon and, in a big pile, they typically wiggle, squirm and kick out with their legs.
Three male calves (between the ages of 18 months to 4 years old) from Big Mama's family at play. A 2 year old male lies down and permits the other two to Climb-Upon. An 18 month old male calf arrives first and begins to climb on him. The older male walks over, bends down and Tusks the 2 year old calf in his face and then lies down on top of him. Meanwhile the 18 month old runs around and begins Sparring with the two on the ground. He gets an erection as he plays and then climbs around behind them and Mounts the pile of males in a Climb-Upon. They all get to their feet. There is no audio. (Maasai Mara, Kenya)
