Elephants come to the rescue of collapsed calf in South Africa

KRUGER NATIONAL PARK, South Africa, May 28 (UPI) -- A visitor to South Africa's Kruger National Park captured footage of elephants stopping to help a young comrade that collapsed in a street.

The video, shot by a park visitor named Juanita and shared on the Kruger Sightings YouTube channel, shows an elephant calf collapse onto its side for unknown reasons on a road in the park.

A pair of elephants, an adult and another juvenile, approach the calf as motorists watch from their vehicles and help the animal back to its feet. The trio then follow their herd away from the road.

"Amazing and touching video of a herd of elephants helping an elephant calf that has collapsed in the road," the video's description reads.
