Dramatic successful rescue of elephant mother and calf (video screenshot)
(PEOPLE) – An elephant and her baby were saved in Thailand after getting stuck in a large hole during a dramatic, ultimately heartwarming ordeal.
The incident happened in the Khao Yai National Park in the Nakhon Nayok province on July 13, the New York Post reported. The rescue team was made up of veterinarians and park staff, according to The Guardian.
Initially, only the 1-year-old calf fell into the roadside drainage hole, with its mother standing watch nearby. However as rescuers arrived and anesthetized the distressed mom to calm her down, she fell into the hole as well, per Reuters.
