Mama Elephant Was Sinking Into The Mud With Her Baby When They Intervened

The Shangrala website detailed every step of an intense elephant rescue, and it’ll have you on the edge of your seat. Be sure to follow it all the way through until the unreal conclusion.

“Conservation workers, who normally have a policy of leaving nature to fend for itself as much as possible, could not sit by and let a mother elephant and her calf die horribly from being stuck in a mud lagoon.”

A mother and baby elephant were sinking further into the mud, and the herd could only sit by and watch.

 

The calf cried out for help, but there was nothing they could do.

 

But it was then that wildlife officials showed up with some rope in hand, and they hoped it’d be enough to pull the two to safety.

 

They got the baby out on the first try, but she just ran right back to her mother. She was stuck again.

The young one cried out again. She wasn’t going to leave without her mother.

 

She was almost freed for a second time, but right back to Mama she went.

 

The team tried everything they could to keep the baby from going back into the mud pit.

 

They tried calling for the calf one more time, and…

 

The third time was the charm!

 

The herd cried out to the baby, and she ran to them instead of the mother this time.

 

But now the mother was exhausted and ready to give up. But the workers kept at it…

 

They wouldn’t be able to pull Mom out like they did the baby, so they went and got a tractor.

 

And it worked! The tractor pulled as the elephant helped.

 

Then Mama cries out for her baby as she’s freed.

 

She runs to the herd so worried about her little one.

 

Together and safe at last! And it’s thanks to this group of heroes who refused to give up.

 

How about that for a feel-good ending? Just amazing! ????
