Three elephants, trapped in man-made pond, guarded by entire herd
- 8 years ago
Footage has emerged from China of a herd of elephants standing around, looking worried after three of them got stuck in a man-made pond.
The video, filmed in Yunnan Province last Sunday, shows three Asian elephants trapped in the water, awaiting rescue, while other members of the herd stand around, perhaps guarding them.
More than 60 armed police accompanied a helicopter and a JCB to rescue the elephants, because there was a fear the animals were agitated and could attack.
Fortunately, it all went well and they were eventually rescued successfully.
