Mother and Calf Rescued from Muddy Tomb | Sheldrick Trust
Spread The Viralist



In the depths of the drought, we found a heroic display of hope. With her own life on the line, a mother elephant remained fiercely devoted to her baby. Shoulder-deep in mud and unable to move, she continued to protect him the only way she could, shielding him with her trunk. Tiny as he was, the calf was equally brave, refusing to leave his mother’s side.

Established in 1977, the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (SWT) operates the world’s most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program, rescuing and hand-rearing orphaned elephants and other animals that have lost their mothers, all too often as a result of human activity. But we do much more than this. Through our Aerial, Anti-Poaching and Mobile Veterinary Units, we safeguard the natural environment and provide immediate assistance to wild animals in need. We also secure irreplaceable wilderness areas so that animals will always have space to roam and work with local partners and communities to ensure people and wildlife can live alongside one another.

  1. Good job tranquillizing that little 💩 so you can get the cow out. Of course it doesn’t understand, and it’s unintentionally complicating the rescue attempts

  2. Hát nem is tudom mt írjak ! Köszönöm , köszönöm ! Thank you , thank you !
    Hála a Teremtőnek , hogy megmentették mindkettőjüket !❤❤❤❤❤❤

  3. Watching this on 8th September 2023. Thank you rescuers and community for helping this Mother and baby elephant. You all are MVIPs👏👏👏. Blessings upon you. So emotional.

  4. they way baby ran towards her mother, omg.. if you wanna see the god transcend on the earth, just look at the innocents creature's mother and babies love,

  5. Was it necessary to unnecessaryly knock them out?
    For the sake of domination and absolute control.
    No one may be anymore, other than the people, a mono race of the "future"

  6. I want more people in the world to see these rescues. It would add to the humanity that is starting to erode during the past 3 years or so. These are such beautiful videos. The elephants are more civilized than a lot of humans. But the rescuers are the heroes here. They do what is needed, no matter what. And lovingly explain it to us. Like not usually anesthetizing an elephant during a rescue, but a mother with her child is another situation. This elephant mother did her best to not let any of the men approach her baby which she covered as well as she could with her trunk, pulling the calf closer to her. Heart-breaking stuff. And so that's why they anesthetized them both — to be able to do the rescue. You can read about all this on the above video on how they rescued this young family. There's always more info there. So —– I am IMPRESSED with this team and their ability to make such quick decisions. I love every one of them. Thank You.

  7. Thank you thank you for the rescue. Really though, they are there because they need water. That’s the only reason they got stuck in the mud was trying to find water. Is there water for them nearby so they don’t end up back there in the mud? 🙏🙏🙏💕

  8. Little one running to his mother every time they raised him up. Unconditional love right there. I probably cried for the first time in years.

  9. கடவுலே காப்பாற்றி விட்டீர்கள் நண்றி உங்களுக்கு.நீங்கள் கடவுளின் பிரதிநிதிகள்.
