Animal rescue videos are always heart-warming to watch. Like this video shared by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan about the rescue of an elephant calf. In a series of tweets, Kaswan explained that at 8 am on Thursday morning his team was informed about an elephant calf who was found alone in an agriculture field. It appeared that the calf was separated from the herd.

Fortunately, the forest department took the calf under their care. They fed the young animal and cleaned it from dung and dirt. After conducting a medical check-up on the calf, the forest department workers took it five kilometres away, near a jungle where an elephant herd was spotted. The elephant was then reunited with its herd.

Family will be tracked for next few days.
