Video 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.

    An amazing save! Good to know you were thanked!

    The elephant was saying "Hey thanks for saving my baby". That video was cool. The rescue made their day, i'm sure.

  • Jackie

    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.

    I have no doubt that the elephants were saluting the men who rescued the baby, Great video.

  • VLK

    Amazing video of the "human spirit" reaching out to save this baby elephant.

  • Sandi

    My hands were vicariously cupped under his "little" butt to push him up the whole time. Great video.

    I love rescue videos! I also loved the salute that elephant gave the crew that saved the baby elephant.

    So wonderful. Mom was sure happy. Great caring people.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Beautiful, such a smart, gentle giant - watching off in the distance, to come to grab their baby - and then salute!!! Such honor and loyalty!
