A newborn elephant in China named Zhuangzhuang captured hearts worldwide after his mother rejected him and repeatedly stomped on him shortly after birth. Crying for five hours in fear and confusion, the tiny calf was rescued by wildlife refuge keepers who separated him from danger and provided the love, safety, and care his mother couldn’t. Today, Zhuangzhuang thrives, surrounded by people who truly protect him—a heartwarming reminder that family isn’t always who you’re born to, but who keeps you safe. ❤️
