Remember the incredible rescue mission by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks Peninsular Malaysia (Perhilitan) back in May to free a wild elephant that was stuck in a ditch on the Gerik-Jeli East-West Highway road?

Well, Perhilitan may have experienced deja vu as recently, they pulled off another rescue mission involving an elephant stuck inside a longkang near Jeli, though this time it was an elephant calf that was stuck in the ditch by the road, while its mother waited patiently for its baby to be rescued.

Taking to its official Facebook page, Perhilitan shared a video of the rescue, which took place on 30 June in Batu 13, Jeli East-West Highway road in Jeli, Kelantan.

In the caption, Perhilitan shared that 8 personnel from the Perhilitan Jeli District office went to the location to conduct the rescue operation of the elephant calf.

At the start of the video, an adult female elephant can be seen standing by the longkang while its young child is stuck inside it.

Afterwards, 2 Perhilitan personnel put a harness around the stuck elephant calf before a backhoe was used to successfully pull it out of the longkang.

Throughout all this, the mother elephant stood there patiently and didn’t react aggressively to the Perhilitan personnel, as if knowing that they were there to rescue its child. 

 

Perhilitan cut the road barrier so that the elephant calf could get to the other side with its mother 

After the elephant calf was free, the mother and child duo then made its way across the road.

However, due to its small size, the elephant calf couldn’t walk across the road barrier like its mother.

Perhilitan then cut the road barrier so that the elephant calf could walk to the greeneries on the other side.
