Baby elephant trapped in water-filled well in India rescued with digger
A baby elephant that fell down a well in India was rescued after a digger broke through the walls to free it.
Concerned villagers alerted local authorities after spotting the mammal struggling.
Footage shows the animal waving its trunk as it searches for a way out of the water-filled pit.
The elephant eventually escaped after it was able to climb up the side of the well, after a digger smashed through its edge and dug up the ground.
The animal later walked back into the forest.
