An elephant calf is discovered and pulled out of an uncovered drain near Sri Lanka's Hambantota port.
An elephant fell into 25 feet deep well in Welikanda, eastern Sri Lanka. After the situation turned increasingly bleak, locals have to think on their feet how to rescue the creature - resorting to pouring gravel on it so that it could scramble out of the hole.
This poor and clumsy young elephant fell down a 70-foot-deep well in southern India and would likely have died there if it weren't for the brave effort of rescue workers. The elephant calf alerted a nearby forest patrol to her plight by trumpeting anguished cries for help. The forest workers followed the sound and arrived to the well to find the animal shivering in fright. They called in a team of rescue workers to help lift the large animal to safety. A group of villagers and onlookers heard the commotion and decided to gather around the rescue workers and help out in the effort
Villagers and forest officials in India's southern Kerala state come to the rescue of a two-year-old elephant calf trapped inside an unused well. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
