Earlier this month, Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan shared a clip showing the rescue of an elephant calf from a ditch late at night. It took four hours to pull out the elephant calf from the ditch and guide it back to its herd.

Elephants often fall into ditches and swamps and rescue videos grab attention online. With timely intervention by the forest department and other officials, some are rescued successfully.
