There are a lot of instances of human beings saving the lives of animals in heroic ways and we have one such video with us which is the perfect example of that. A video of a group of forest rangers rescuing an elephant from a ditch has surfaced online. Moreover, the animal was saved by applying the Archimedes’ principle. Well, you will have to watch the video to find out further.
The clip of the heroic save was posted on Twitter by IFS officer Parveen Kaswan. The incident happened when an elephant fell into a ditch in Midnapore in West Bengal. It was stuck as the pit was quite deep. So, to rescue the elephant, a team of forest rangers brilliantly filled the pit with water. The water obviously made the elephant float to the top and, with the help of ropes, the team was able to retrieve the elephant from the ditch.
A rescue operation was carried out after the forest department received the distressing information at 1 AM and was completed by 4 AM.
“An elephant fell into a ditch in Midinapur. Now how to rescue it. By applying Archimedes' principle. Watch to believe,” Parveen Kaswan captioned the post.
“The information was received by Forest Department at 1 AM in night. Under the leadership of DFO Shri Sandeep Berwal and ADFOs operation was taken up. By 4 AM rescue was completed successfully,” he further added.
