A mother elephant spent half a day frantically digging a hole to rescue her calf. According to Caters TV, the mother refused to leave her calf behind after it got stuck inside a well. The mother nearly caused more problems after accidentally pushing more mud into the well.

However, people living in the Chatra district in India saw the elephant and rushed to take care of it.

The dig took a long while...

The villagers distracted the mother with a truck filled with bananas and then removed the sand so the mother could grab her baby.
