Baby elephant rescued from drowning

Heartwarming footage has emerged of a young, baby elephant being rescued from drowning by two people in South Africa.

The awesome video, filmed at Kruger National Park on February 16, shows the distressed animal stuck in a drainage well, on the verge of drowning because it was so worn out.

Fortunately, two men came to the rescue, lifting the heavy creature out of trouble.

According to the filmer, an animal rescue centre was "informed of the situation and the elephant got a new home."
