The audience can’t help but laugh as the calf cozily settles on her lap. A bystander comments that the woman seems to be enjoying the unusual encounter.

Baby Elephant Tries to Wake Its Injured Mother After Both Fall into a 20-Foot Ditch in India (VIDEO)

 In a moving scene from Tezpur, Assam, a young elephant attempted to wake its injured mother after both fell into a 20-foot ditch while traveling with a herd of around 100 elephants.

The incident, which occurred in the early morning, left the adult elephant with a likely broken leg and unconscious at the bottom of the pit.

Watch the video at the end.

Footage captured the calf, just three months old, nudging its mother’s side to revive her. Another trained rescue elephant attempted to pull the injured elephant out with a rope, but the effort was unsuccessful.

Villagers nearby quickly alerted forest officials, who arrived with a rescue team, including veterinarians and a trained “Kumki” elephant, often used for rescue operations.

They also provided milk for the distressed calf. However, due to the mother’s injuries and the depth of the ditch, the team was unable to extract her.

An excavator was brought in to facilitate the rescue to widen the ditch’s opening and create a slope.

After an eight-hour effort, the calf was transported to the nearby Kaziranga National Park for safety while veterinarians continued to care for the mother, whose condition remained serious.

Forest officer Diganta Barooah explained, “The mother elephant is still in the pit with veterinarians attending to her. We suspect her rear leg may be fractured, and her condition is being closely monitored.” The department has set up floodlights and other facilities to allow treatment through the night.

The rescue operation raised concerns among locals who argued that the park’s construction interferes with an essential elephant migration path.

Uday Goswami, a coordinator at the park, remarked, “There had been no elephants near the site recently, but the herd suddenly appeared this morning.”
