A baby elephant has been rescued after falling into a well nearly 30 feet deep in an Indian village. Officials demolished an entire side of the well wall, eventually cutting a ramp into the earth to allow the calf to walk out on its own.
The calf was among a herd of elephants to enter Nimatand village from the nearby forest, in Giridih district in the eastern state of Jharkhand, late on May 2. Villagers shooed away the herd, but discovered the calf at the bottom of the well the following morning.Multiple backhoes were used to demolish the side of the well and excavate a trench for the elephant to walk out on."Unfortunately, in the dark of the night, roughly around 9 p.m.
local time, an elephant calf fell into the well," said local government official Shashikant Verma, who photographed the rescue."The level wasn't high enough, but the calf got some buoyancy after falling and didn't get any injuries."Villagers alerted the local forest department, which launched a rescue operation using three backhoes.
