The situation unfolded when a nearby farmer stumbled upon a stranded elephant on his land. The young elephant had fallen into a hole while its herd was foraging, with no one realizing the baby was left behind. Quickly mobilizing after receiving the call, a team of rescuers including police and forest officials hurried to the location. One member of the group recounted discovering the calf in the pit, appearing disoriented and isolated from its family.

The calf accidentally fell into the hole in the ground after wandering into a village in south-western China¿s Yunnan Province on October 17. It was successfully rescued the next morning

After a nerve-wracking 12-hour operation, the rescue team successfully pulled the calf out of the pit. Heartwarming videos captured the moment three officers led the young elephant back to its family, reassuring it with words like, “Come on, let’s go. Let’s find your mommy and head back to the wild.” Thankfully, the incident had a happy ending, with officials confirming that the baby elephant appeared unharmed after its little adventure.
