Elephant huddle

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: When a 5.2 earthquake hit Southern California on Monday, the elephants at the San Diego Zoo knew what to do.

Video shows five African elephants hanging out in the sun when the ground begins to shake. The three adult elephants scrambled to form a protective circle around the two young ones. The older elephants looked outward with ears spread and flapping and stayed huddled that way for several minutes.

A teenaged elephant gently tapped her trunk on a young one to get him to behave and stay inside the huddle. Nobody got hurt.

Turns out, pachyderms have rock solid parenting skills. Safety first, drama later!
