Social media users fell in love with a video showing the grieving behavior of an elephant who lost her performing partner of decades. Jenny and Magda spent over 25 years together in Russia during their retirement before tragedy struck this week when Jenny unexpectedly collapsed and passed away. Confused Magda initially tried to push and lift her companion in an attempt to revive her, but her efforts were unsuccessful.
After failing to wake Jenny, Magda wrapped her trunk around her fallen friend and stayed by her side until their final sad goodbye. According to local media reports, Magda protected Jenny's body, keeping veterinarians away for several hours as she mourned.
