Upsadaisy: Moment baby elephant trips over his trunk... and mommy comes rushing to check he's ok<br />
<br />
This is the moment a clumsy baby elephant took a tumble as he rushed to catch up with his mother as she crossed a road.<br />
The cute calf had been taking a stroll through the bush with his mother at Idube Game Reserve in South Africa.<br />
When the pair came across a dirt track road, the adult strolled on ahead confidently.<br />
<br />
But when the baby elephant rushed to catch her up he appeared to get his leg caught in the grass.<br />
<br />
The clumsy little one stumbled as he stepped down onto the path and struggled to regain his balance.<br />
Eventually he fell over and landed - trunk first - down in the mud.<br />
<br />
Luckily the young elephant did not appear to hurt anything but his pride and was quickly back on his feet.<br />
Noticing her clumsy calf's fall, the mother elephant, who was carrying a huge tree branch in her trunk, had halted her onward march and turned back to check her baby.<br />
Having given him a once over, the pair disappeared back into the bush.<br />
The incredible moment was captured by reserve ranger and wildlife filmmaker Rob Vamplew, known as Rob the Ranger.<br />
