Sucking on own trunk. Appears to be done when unsure, apparently for comfort. Infants and calves are typically observed exhibiting this display, but older elephants may also be observed to Trunk-Suck.
We are with the C family: gf0080's 2013 infant is with allomothers who are feeding. Something happens that we can't see and the infant becomes alarmed and starts to move, first toward mother and then back to allomothers, while it Touches-Self and Trunk-Sucks. The camera pans out and we see gf0080 Standing-Tall facing the camera. She seems to be on her way to retrieve her infant. (Gorongosa, Mozambique)
