BENGAL: In a heartwarming incident, an elephant mother can be seen in a video saving her calf from drowning in the river.
In a now-viral video shared by an Indian Forest Officer, a herd of elephants can be seen crossing a river to go into the forest. However, a mother and her calf left behind as the baby starts drifting away due to the fast-flowing water.
The baby elephant wobbles due to the flow of water and is carried away by the river. However, soon enough, the mother was able to get a hold of the calf’s trunk and both of them exited the river safely.
Soon, both mother and her calf are seen exiting the river and moving towards the anxiously waiting herd.
“Mother elephant saving calf from drowning is the best thing you watch today. Video was shot near Nagrakata in North Bengal. Via WA,” Indian Forest Officer Parween Kaswan says in the caption of the video.
