A team of rescuers in India came to the aid of a drowning elephant after discovering the animal face-down in a flooded, muddy pit. The group of people worked together using ropes and their own strength to haul the exhausted animal to safety.
News of an elephant’s plight spread through Dumerta Village in Odisha, an eastern Indian state. The forest and fire departments arrived on the scene, and a large group of local volunteers teamed up to carry forward the harrowing rescue.
