The two-year-old animal accidentally fell in while walking with its mother and the rest of its herd. Locals went to the scene in the Kuttampuzha Forest Range in Kerala state after hearing the sound of distressed elephants.
Residents dug a makeshift slope in the ground towards the well and also put a rope around the calf. They then helped pull it to safety as it climbed back up.

The animal, which was uninjured, ran back into the forest but it is not known if it was reunited with the rest of its herd.

Delightful to see all those people uniting to help save an elephant.Also, much better use of a rope with an animal than the hunters pulling the lion behind their vehicle.
