Mother Elephant Accidentally Poops on Her Baby

However much you may think you screwed up your kids today, you probably didn’t poop on them.

Photographer Brigitte Marcon unwittingly captured this, er, poignant parenting scene as she snapped photos of a mother elephant walking with her babies in the Etosha National Park in Namibia.

The good news is, the baby elephant kept right on walking alongside her mama, seemingly unfazed by her smelly crown. So if a well-intentioned mother can poop on her baby without causing severe trauma, you can rest assured that your children will recover from whatever damage you involuntarily, uh, load on them as well.
