I saw another photo with this baby in the same position, so went on a hunt, and managed to find 16 images from around the same time from this camera, which show a family of elephants chilling out there for a few hours. Before this baby went to sleep, it's older brother / sister lay down in the same spot for a snooze. Then mum came along, they both had a drink of milk I think, and this little one promptly lay down and slept for a while. Then eventually they all got up and left again. So I'm glad to say it was very much alive. 😃
You can see the sequence in the collection I put together : CSGS0000wo
The first image is timed at 07:35, and the last one is 10:57 - they hung out there for about 3 1/2 hours.

I was wondering if this was a newborn. It's very tiny for an elephant.
