Family of elephants sticks together as one of them falls.
Alarmed by the fallen animal, a group of men interfere and tries to help it.

These men are successful on their task and they manage to rescue the elephant.

The animal was spotted by locals stuck with her wailing calf standing by her side, near a stream at Kunjurpathy forest region in Coimbatore in south India on Sunday morning.

It is believed the mother-son duo had come to drink water from the muddy slush before becoming stuck.

After villagers raised an alarm, a rescue team arrived with ropes for help but the calf and its mother tried to chase them away.

The officials then had to burst firecrackers to push them back and used a ramp and an earth-mover machine to help the fatigued jumbo stand on her feet.

After five hours, the officials succeeded in bringing her on her feet and move her out of the mud. It was immediately given drugs and antibiotics, vitamin and energy boosters besides being fed fruits.
