VIDEO: These elephants had the best reaction when a calf fell over

Kids, eh?

Always getting themselves into trouble.

Well, it seems that elephant calves are no different. In this video filmed at Zurich Zoo, one of the calves in the elephant enclosure struggles to climb up onto a ledge. In his efforts, he suddenly slips down crying out as he lands on his back.

And the lightning-quick reaction of the two other elephants in the herd - one likely the calf's mother - shows that anyone in the company of an accident-prone youngster learns to think on their feet.

Also - the noises they make are a little unnerving, aren't they?
