At the Amboseli National Park in Kenya, an 8-month-old baby elephant fell into a hole and couldn’t climb out. Mommy and baby were frantic.
Thankfully, a team of three from the Amboseli Trust for Elephants came to the rescue.
They first shooed away the two adult elephants. Then two young men patiently and painstakingly wound a rope around Baby, and the jeep then pulled Baby out.
Free at last, Baby ran across the dusty steppe to find Mom.
You’ll need a tissue for their joyous reunion.

Beautiful!
Sweet!
Is it unmanly to admit stuff like that gets me all choked up?
No!
A real man is not cut off from his emotions. A real man has a soul and is kind and has empathy for others. I love you more because you have the manly self-confidence to admit you got all choked up!
Ditto to what Dr. Eowyn said! Frankly, if you are unkind and do not have empathy, then you are not “manly” in my book.
Thank you Dr. Eowyn for this heartfelt post! I was gripped while the rescue was taking place and the rescuers are so kind and good! I loved when the mommy ran to her little one! Beautiful!
Awwwww….I needed that!
I don’t know about others, but I was exhausted by the time baby got out of the well. I felt like I’d worked really hard . . . trying to make it happen! Great, great film.
