Baby Elephants Swept Away from Mother in the River

Mother elephant saves baby from dangerously swollen river in Kenya A mother elephant’s desperate struggle to save her calf from being swept away down a swollen river in Kenya has made for a dramatic and heart-tugging video.

While on location in Africa, BBC Earth captured incredibly dramatic, nail-biting footage showing a herd of elephants attempting to cross a alligator infested river. Amongst the herd were three tiny calves who, despite the best efforts of their mums, had a difficult time keeping their collective trunks above water due to the strong current that kept sweeping them away.

The current even became too strong for the adults, who eventually pulled themselves to shore in order to help their babies downstream. One calf came to shore rather easily, but the two who were further downstream had a bit more of a time with it. The adult pachyderms could not reach the calves due to the angle of the slippery riverbank, despite their best efforts. Luckily one of the calfs was able to get solid footing and exited the river with the other calf in tow.
