Helpless Baby Elephant Saved From Well Returns To The Wild

One thing that most people can agree on when it comes to online videos is that baby animals are usually very adorable to watch. Young, helpless animals are very innocent and wonderful to watch, and most of them can make even the grumpiest person smile and laugh at their antics. We love watching them explore their surroundings, especially when it is all brand new to them.

Since babies are born not knowing what is going on in their world, it is very natural for them to want to explore as much as they possibly can. They can be very eager and daring as they wander about their territory. They want to learn about the things around them, the people who come in contact with them, and all of the other animals around.

However, sometimes things change just as quickly as can be. We have no idea what life is about to throw at us. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is bad. For this little elephant, life was about to get a bit more complicated than he was used to.

Footage of a baby elephant trapped in a well has gone viral online. No one knows exactly how long the baby was in the well, but you can clearly see many marks around the area where the older elephants gathered to try and help the baby.

Luckily, the poor elephant was rescued by some very heroic staff members. Many staff members believe that the calf fell down into the well and was then abandoned after the elder animals couldn’t get him out.

None of the elephants in the area seemed to recognize the calf when rescuers showed him around. Instead, they took the baby to a shelter nearby in order to nurse him back to health. He is still just a young baby, so rescuers are not sure what will happen to him next.

You can watch the footage of the baby in the well below. Everyone who watches it has been on the edge of their seats the entire time! We are so glad that someone came by and realized that the baby was trapped. The video is definitely worth a view!
