The infant elephant won't leave her mother's side while brave soldiers do CPR to restore her heartbeat.
If someone's heart stops beating, CPR is very necessary to save their life. But can you imagine how medical professionals would do CPR on an elephant's huge body? Read on to get out!
A 10-year-old elephant and her calf were recently caught in a concrete drai in central Thailand. The do fell into a 7-foot-deep pit that was adjacent to the pier and the storm's eye.
The park contacted the veterinarians for assistance because they were concerned that if they attempted to remove the infant, the mother would cry and call the nearby 30-elephant herd.
The team member constructed a makeshift wall to keep the potentially violent herd at bay.
Unluckily, during the rescue, the mother elephat suddenly lost consciousness, frightening everyone who arrived to assist them.
Lead park veterinarian Dr. Chaaya Kachaasarak explained that it was hard to hear the baby when the mother was around. "We gave her three doses of tranquillizers, but she proceeded towards her baby before passing out and hitting her skull," he added.
While her mother was lying in the hole, the calf drank milk, giving the other cows some time to relax.
Despite the difficulty in approaching the two due to the terrain, the rescue squad eventually succeeded in successfully lifting them up using a crane.
After the mother got out of the bed, three veterinarians jumped across her chest in the hopes that she would wake up. Dr. Chaaya Kachaasarak stated that the animal "regained consciousness after being stimulated by both myself and the baby."

The area was cleaned by park staff and veterinary clinics so that the elephants could celebrate and reunite with their herd.
