This is a touching moment when a female elephant rescuing a calf from another herd. The calf was abandoned by its mother when it got stuck in an irrigation channel.
The female elephant tries again and again to rescue the calf from the concrete gutter but to no avail.
Eventually, after trying for around half an hour, she manages to push the baby onto its feet and leads it to the safety of her herd.
The calf later reunites with its mother.
Although the clip was filmed in 2015, it's been shared widely online.
