If you have a Youtube account, please try logging in and see if you can then view the videos on https://mvotd.com. If you're using a VPN, try turning it off to view the videos. There are a few other work arounds but they are pretty confusing to use. If you have the skills you might try searching Google for "Youtube Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" for a fix. I didn't see any that looked easy. Our best hope is that Youtube completes their test and realizes this is a big mistake. Until then, please check in daily to see if you still getting the error message. Sorry it took so long to figure out what was going on with this. Mel

Description

In Kerala, India, a baby elephant falls into a ditch (or an abandoned well) and gets trapped there. As the family of wild elephants watches and waits on the other side of the river, local people and forest officials use an earthmover to help the baby get out.

Watch when they come running and welcoming the baby, checking whether it is fine. The incredible moment then occurs when the elephant family head turns and salutes the humans, thanking them for saving their little one..

There has been some confusion on whether the elephants were actually acknowledging the rescuers or not. Numerous scientific experiments have shown that elephants are emotional beings. Elephants are known to comfort other elephants in distress and stand beside them touching with trunks and making soft sounds.

  • carol segal Added An amazing save! Good to know you were thanked!
  • Doug Added The elephant was saying "Hey thanks for saving my baby". That video was cool. The rescue made their day, i'm sure.
  • Jackie Added Elephants are such wonderful animals, and their interaction with people is heart warming. We can learn so much from them. Helping the young elephant was fantastic; the 'thank you' from Mom afterwards was not surprising, but lovely to see. I'm still smiling.
  • Mary Jane Added I have no doubt that the elephants were saluting the men who rescued the baby, Great video.
  • VLK Added Amazing video of the "human spirit" reaching out to save this baby elephant.
  • Sandi Added My hands were vicariously cupped under his "little" butt to push him up the whole time. Great video.
  • Randy Ferguson Added I love rescue videos! I also loved the salute that elephant gave the crew that saved the baby elephant.
  • Lynne Henderson Added So wonderful. Mom was sure happy. Great caring people.
  • Becky Added Oh, I'm so happy they were able to rescue that precious baby elephant! But I'd wager the baby's family were even happier! And to hear his rescuers hoot in celebration tells me they were happy, too. Good work, guys!
  • mercedes Added wonderful video!

  • Patrick Added Absolutely great rescue. Elephants are more like humans in many respects, especially when it comes to family. They tend to stay together their whole lives. Kudos to the men for this rescue.

  • Barbara Added Elephants are caring animals. I always liked to see elephants at the circus. It is good that they have a place to go now in their retirement. Thanks.
  • Beth Added Beautiful, such a smart, gentle giant - watching off in the distance, to come to grab their baby - and then salute!!! Such honor and loyalty!
