| Her Baby Was Trapped In A Pit ... The Crowd Dug More Access |
The mother in her desperation was actually kicking more sand in, while trying to rescue the baby .... so the local villagers distracted her with food on the back of a truck, and the rest were able to clear a better pathway in the sand pit, before the hungry mother had finished eating.
They then drove the truck away, and the mother elephant with no food to distract her resumed her rescue attempt ...

| Alls Well That Ends Well .... |
Its not always bad news out of India at the moment .....
