Look … an exciting rescue operation for an “elephant” that fell into a well that lasted 12 hours

The South Indian state of Tamil Nadu witnessed a curious incident related to the dramatic rescue operation of an elephant that fell into a deep well.

State forest officials said the process of pulling the elephant out of the well and saving it from death took 12 hours, during which I used a crane.

The British newspaper “The Guardian” quoted Raj Kumar, an official from the region’s forest preservation department, as saying that the elephant got lost in a village near a forest in Darmapuri and fell into the well, which was covered with bush branches. .

According to Raj Kumar, the well was so narrow and deep that it was difficult to get the elephant out of the mouth.

The rescue team resorted to the use of tubes that were responsible for pumping large amounts of water into the well to lift the elephant a bit, but the animal did not respond to that and attacked the tubes.

Raj Kumar added: “In the end we decided to anesthetize the elephant with the help of a medical team and used a crane to lift it out of the well. We watched the animal for three hours after we saved it, and it didn’t appear to have any injuries. “

Environmental experts believe that the destruction of forests, rapid urbanization and the increasing population of villages in India are pushing animals such as elephants to venture near human settlements.
