There are many videos online that demonstrate how well animals and people get along, and in the case of elephants, there are several instances where they have assisted in saving each other's lives. An internet video has appeared showing a little girl rescuing a baby elephant from a muddy ditch.
The video was shared by Indian Forest Service (IFS) Officer Susanta Nanda on Twitter on Thursday. While sharing the post, he wrote, "She helped the elephant baby come out of the mud it was struck in. baby is acknowledged with a blessing."
In between a rural road and a sugarcane field, the baby elephant is seen stuck in a muddy ditch in the 36-second clip. The girl then continues to try to lift the young elephant out of the ditch and assists it in getting out of the mud.
The animal, on the other hand, consents to the woman's assistance while avoiding physical touch. She succeeds in removing the jumbo from the mud at last. The little elephant can further be seen lifting its trunk in the last moments of the video, perhaps as a thank-you for the girl's efforts.
