In India’s Chatra district, people are used to the presence of elephants. They are never surprised to see herds of elephants migrating through the village. However, the strange behavior of a lonely elephant has attracted their attention…
For 11 hours, this elephant kept digging in the ground in despair. At one point it stopped, collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, but then it got up again and continued digging. The villagers couldn’t help but wonder why it did this.
They wanted to help but the elephant wouldn’t let them come near. Curious and saddened by the palpable pain of the elephant, a man named Jitendra Tiwari used a truck full of food to lure it away from the mud. The villagers wanted to make sure the elephant didn’t become aggressive when he saw a human approaching the hole.
When they got close, they were shocked. There is a baby elephant stuck in the hole. It turned out that the strangely acting elephant was a female elephant. The mother elephant wanted to save the baby elephant stuck in the mud, so she tried to dig in the ground, but the more she digs, the more the soil sinks, causing the baby elephant to sink deeper. Mr. Jitendra Tiwari said the villagers worked together to clean up the ground that was dug up by the mother elephant, to help clear the hole so that the baby elephant could have a way out.
After that, the mother elephant was able to pick up her tiny baby out of the crater. The baby elephant was covered in mud but was healthy and walking normally. The “motherly love” that a mother elephant has for her baby elephant has touched many people.
