Nice little story.

From The Telegraph

Jumbo Task

Four elephants lined up, trunk-to-tail, to pull a calf from a 20ft well it had fallen into in Bannerghatta National Park in southern India.

Just me underlining the Header

But I'll check to see if one of the elephants had a phone with him and took some family photos if you like............

Probaby as much to do with the calf being revered/sacred?!?

Look at the child poverty/infant mortality rates and how female children are viewed and in some cases murdered by some families who cannot afford them...

Paul - I just read it as as the Elephants doing this off their own bat, no human involvement. Just a nice 2 line story about intelligent animals. No more, no less. d
