Drowning baby elephant rescued from Teesta River by fishermen, reunited with mother in remarkable video

In a remarkable wildlife rescue in West Bengal's Jalpaiguri district, fishermen saved a newborn elephant calf struggling in the Teesta River's strong current. The calf, separated from its herd, was being swept downstream when the fishermen intervened. They followed the calf for nearly three to four kilometres before rescuing it.

The rescued calf was then taken to safety on their boat and handed over to forest officials. After locating its mother, the reunited calf was successfully returned to its family, demonstrating the compassion and quick thinking of the local fishermen and the swift response of the forest department.
