Momma Elephant Rescues Baby Elephant From Muddy Well In India

A momma elephant spent 11 hours attempting to save her baby from a muddy well in India. She stayed by her baby’s side for the better part of a day before trying tug the young elephant calf from the thick and deep mud.

The elephant mother actually made the situation worse for her calf when she tried to use her trunk as a rescue rope. She accidentally caused more mud to fall into the well and nearly smothered her baby. The elephant calf was reportedly trapped in the muddy well from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning.
