A mother elephant and three babies who jumped into a watering hole for a drink had to be rescued after they got stuck in the muddy bath. Nearby villagers woke up to the sound of "trumpeting" and rushed to the pond to find the four trapped elephants. Locals threw branches and tree trunks into the mud to keep them afloat and helped the mother escape. Diggers created a slope to allow her three babies to follow, near Dhelsara village of Ambikapur district in the north Indian state of Chhattisgarh on October 25.
