Baby elephant rescued from well in Thailand

Residents of a village in Thailand found an unexpected baby elephant in their well on Sunday.



The one-month-old elephant had been separated from its herd as it moved through the Phayao Province region.

The animal then somehow got trapped in the deep well where the villagers found her scared and desperate to get out.

The villagers called a local animal rescue organization who came out armed with a backhoe. The group was able to carve out a pathway for the elephant who then ran to freedom.
