Viral Video: Elephants have once again shown that they are not just huge, but also incredibly caring. A touching video of a mother elephant rescuing her stranded calf has captured hearts across the internet. The clip, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan, highlights the intelligence and emotional strength of these gentle giants.
In the viral video, a baby elephant can be seen struggling to climb a steep slope onto a main road, slipping multiple times in fear. Seeing her calf in trouble, the mother rushes to help and another adult from the herd joins in. Together, the elephants gently nudge the calf with their trunks and bodies. Kaswan captioned the video: “That mother calf duo. Nobody should leave behind.”
