Dave Goldenberg of Gelf Magazine was kind enough to send along this very graphic, often upsetting, but ultimately pretty awesome video of a baby elephant birth in Indonesia. Watch to the end.

I was cheering lil elephant on like crazy. STAAAAAND!

drmabu7 - you may want to recruit that elephant. It seems quite good at kicking. Compared to that site, this is a really good idea.
