📍 Jalpaiguri, Bengal
A baby elephant was swept away from its mother while trying to cross the swollen Teesta River in India.
Fishermen spotted its trunk above the water and chased it for nearly 4 km against the powerful current before pulling the exhausted calf to safety.
Then, after a two-hour search, they found the mother. She rushed to her baby, took it back and began nursing it.
