Baby Elephant Stuck Upside Down in Mud Is Freed--With Men’s and Digger’s Help

|Updated:

When locals discovered this baby elephant stranded upside down in a ditch, they rushed to help. The poor baby must have fallen in and the adults had left it there. It was distraught and flailing, and they had to rescue it.

At first they tried to pull it out, but were unable to budge it, so they brought in a JCB digger to start digging it out. The work is slow, and the baby becomes more and more agitated with each movement of the JCB. One wrong move could seriously injure the baby.
