Fishermen Spot Tiny Trunk in Floodwaters — And Rescue a 3-Day-Old Elephant 3 Miles From Home

Two fishermen on the flooded Teesta River in West Bengal spotted a trunk poking above the water on September 21 and pulled a drowning elephant calf aboard. Forest officer Mudit Kumar Verma said the calf, estimated at three or four days old, had been swept nearly three miles downstream while trying to cross. A veterinarian on scene cleared it as healthy, and the rescue team tracked down its mother nearby. The calf was reunited with her, watched from a careful distance as she nursed it and accepted it back into the herd of endangered Asian elephants.
