A tiny baby elephant fell into a deep mudhole in Urulanthanni, Kerala, India and couldnt escape despite the unsuccessful efforts of the herd. The next day, a group of compassionate workers from the Forest Department tirelessly dug at the hole until the calf was able to break free and rejoin the group. The mother of the calf was so thankful that she raised her trunk several times in gratitude.

This place is near the forest and elephants visit all the time. One day, a small elephant fell down the well. The other elephants tried to rescue their baby the entire night, but they failed. In the morning, the forest department rescued the baby and we could clearly see the mother elephant express her gratitude towards the rescuers.

... when we've got plenty of intelligent non-human species here on earth, largely unrecognized, everything from elephants to orcas to parrots and even our close primate kin.
We are not alone.

Maybe the fucking moron's family should watch this before they go after another "trophy". I would much rather see their heads mounted on a wall someplace.
