Witness The Hair-Raising Moment Villagers Save A Drowning Baby Elephant

One baby elephant got more than it bargained for after stopping for a drink with its herd.

While trying to take a drink, the five-month-old calf took one wrong step and found itself clinging to life from inside a tank. Villagers were quick to notice the elephant’s trunk frantically reaching out and they jumped in to save the day.

It’s believed that the elephant fell into the tank after hearing a firecracker that was used to scare off other stray elephants from the village.
