Hatari #19

Hatari-19, a photo by bucklesw1 on Flickr. Before too long, a third elephant calf has joined Elsa’s “family.” As she leads them to a nearby water hole for a bath, the incidental music heard on the soundtrack is Henry Mancini’s “Baby Elephant Walk” which later became an international hit. (The three little elephants along with some additional animals and their trainer Jan Oelofse, were later flown to Hollywood on board a DC6 to film additional scenes. I believe that one of the calves eventually ended up in the San Diego Zoo, while another one went to the Dubbo Zoo in Australia.)
