For M and P, and A, B, C, J, P, and S (you know who you are)

"...the game trackers at Londolozi spotted a baby elephant who'd been born with horribly deformed hind legs. The trackers who first saw the baby figured it was lion chow, but that particular herd of elephants reacted in a way no one had ever seen and no one expected. The herd had begun to walk in an unusual horseshoe formation , with the little elephant...in the center. When they reached an obstacle [the elephant] couldn't clear, the other elephants would lift her with their trunks..."

Thank you.

quote above is from the book "Steering by Starlight", by Martha Beck.
