Unfortunate animals stuck for two days in boggy terrain, seeking water during a drought. Mother elephant lost footing, sinking further into the earth, and calf got stuck trying to help. Exhausted and resigned, they were rescued by The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, who dug them out with hands and a tractor. After much effort, the elephants were freed, trotting off triumphantly back to freedom.
