The Guardian reports that a baby elephant fell into a deep hole in the ground in Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand. When its mother tried to rescue it, she fell in, too, and got stuck. Rescuers initially tranquilized her, but she fell unconscious.
With the assistance of a boom lift and a digger, they were able to extract the mother and the baby. The rescuers began performing CPR on the mother. Since elephants are huge, this involved a man jumping up and down on her chest to trigger a heartbeat.
The rescue was successful and the pair of elephants, once they were on their feet, fled into the forest.
