It would appear that the mother-offspring relationship for elephants is longer-lasting than other big game. This is witnessed by the relatively large cow-calf herds that are seemingly perpetuated on a continual basis, from generation to generation. This of course is seen in herds of buffalo and prides of lions, but I think this is more advanced for elephants, having a strong communal attitude which gives rise to the apparent "caring" for each other.

In hunting, I think this is why the possibility of being charged by members of an elephant cow herd are much, much greater than when hunting other dangerous game, in my experience anyway.
