Fortunately, another adult elephant rushes over to assist the distressed mother and calf. On the other side of the fence, a third elephant is seen walking furiously, attempting to reach the other two elephants and help in the rescue mission. Despite the young calf struggling to keep its trunk above water, the two adult elephants team up and enter the pool to save it. They work together to hold the calf up so it doesn’t drown and guide it towards the shallow end of the pool. Their tireless efforts pay off as the calf is eventually saved.
