Baby elephant struggling on muddy river bank is saved from drowning when its mother comes to the rescue
A baby elephant was rescued by his relatives after he got stuck in the Sabah region of northern Borneo
His mother tried to push the youngster up the steep bank with her trunk but to no avail
Two relatives came to the rescue, flattening the boggy mud and ensuring the calf's passage to safety

Very nice share Doogs 
A lot of lovely pics there showing us the elephants struggles to make it out of that (river) bank. Hey, elephants are probably like us; always cursing those "bad banks" 
"Like human offspring, calves remain with their mothers until they are teenagers, with some female elephants known to stay with their parent for their entire lives." - I was almost a female elephant
I will use an Angels & Airwaves quote for this story.
"Cause sometimes it comes with a shove, when you show your love."

What an incredible story Doogs and one very lucky little ele, he was quite tiny wasn't he. "Animals often look after each other better than humans" that is just so true isn't it. Great pictures of a wonderful rescue, thanks Doogs.
Love the comment about you nearly being a female ele GR
