A herd of elephants in Uttarakhand's Pauri district on Tuesday staged a dramatic, coordinated rescue of a calf swept away by the fierce currents of the Khoh River.
The incident unfolded in the Dugadda Range of the Lansdowne Forest Division. As dusk settled, a herd of elephants ventured into the river near the Fifth Mile mark to quench their thirst. Amidst the strong flow, a young calf lost its footing and was swiftly carried downstream by the raging torrent.
