13 Answers
This is a sweet video but makes me wonder how junior got down there in the first place. At the end of the day he has a suspected broken leg.
Brief story from Youtube
A baby elephant had to be dragged from uncovered drain in Sri Lanka yesterday after rescuers say it fell in and broke its leg.
Local port workers and wildlife experts rushed to the rescue of the young calf after it was spotted near the port of Hambantota on Sunday.
Footage shows the distressed animal struggling in the drain, while people try to free it by smashing the sides of the hole with sledgehammers and a blow torch.
An adult elephant, who is believed to be the calf's mother, is also briefly seen in the clip looking on at the scene unfolding.The calf is eventually yanked out the hole by two ropes tied to the front of its feet - and held up by its rescuers.
