Most news are always bad and negative. This story made me cry. I hope the mother elephant and her baby lived as long as they can and are healthy.

The country should recognize them with an award and medals!

That baby was mad like a toddler when it couldn't get out. This is heart warming and breaking al at once. I love the elephants 🐘 🐘 🐘

[Dan-xxjq]

That lady was desperate to save them. Such good people!

[Papazipper]

That just jerked the tears out of my eyes, made them flow through the valley of my cheeks, and crescent the smile of my mouth . Happy tears are the best tears .

*Baby elephant 🐘 and her mother are safe*

*God bless all of these who helped this elephant*

All are the experts in wild animal esp the vet Med. There are 3 teams, one protects the coming herd from the mountain that mama crying for help, the second team rescues mama immediately and third rescues the baby. They provide bananas all the way to the mountain feeding them

I was heartbroken by the sight of the suffering mother elephant and her calf.

I do hope that they will survive for many years.

I salute the admirable wildlife rescuers who rescued the two elephants.

There is only one mother in the world who sacrifices her life for her child.
God sent mother to earth and said that perhaps I cannot see everywhere, so you take care of humans instead of me.
