Elephant finds pure happiness playing with ball in video, internet melts over heartwarming sight. Watch<\/a>)<\/p>\n Rescue and care<\/p>\n
According to Kaswan, forest officials initially tried to reunite the young calf with its mother after rescuing it from a river in another district. However, the mother did not accept the calf back, leaving the team with no choice but to take the baby under expert care.<\/p>\n
\u201cA 15-day-old elephant calf rescued from the river during recent floods in another district. After failed reunion attempts with her mother, as a last resort, she\u2019s under expert care at one of our Pilkhana,\u201d Kaswan wrote on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cHealthy, active, and responding well. Such a small kid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Take a look here at the clip:<\/p>\n
Social media reaction<\/p>\n
The heartwarming clip has garnered over 49k views, with users expressing a mix of joy, empathy, and concern. Many praised the officials for their compassion and dedication to wildlife welfare.<\/p>\n
One user wrote, \u201cHope the calf is able to move back to the wild. Such a sweetie pie.\u201d Another wondered, \u201cIs it usually a first-time parent that does this? What causes an elephant mother to reject? They\u2019ve such strong memories and family understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n
Many were moved by the situation. \u201cJust 15 days old and separated\u2026 so sad,\u201d commented one user, while another added, \u201cSuch a cuteee! Must be missing her mama so badly.\u201d A user expressed surprise, saying, \u201cIt\u2019s strange that a mother elephant refused her own calf. In the herd, all elephants seem to take turns to care for each other\u2019s babies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe seems sad but with your love and care she will surely grow up to be a brave one. Thank you guys,\u201d one comment read, while another added, \u201cNature can be cruel at times, but the kindness of humans restores balance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A heartwarming video of a 15-day-old elephant calf rescued from floodwaters has melted hearts online.
