While there are incidents being reported from places like Sri Lanka, where Elephants are treated miserably by humans for their gains, a video of a baby elephant saving a man from drowning in a stream is going viral.
Elephants are intelligent beings with a very strong sense of family bonding. Hence you will find that a herd of elephants never leaves a family member behind, or that a mother elephant would go to any length to protect her baby.?
?
Even as instances of human being cruel towards animals are increasing by the day, the video of this baby elephant rushing to save a man being swept away by fast-flowing water, could actually be a lesson for humans.?
The video has been shared by the user @sonunigamsingH and it could be an old video. It does not mention the time and location of the incident.
However, it can be seen that as the man was quickly being washed away in the stream, the baby elephant separated from the herd and rushed to help the man; from the video it looks like the man might have found the shore, but the elephant still went close, just in case the human needed help.
We could really learn a thing or two from elephants - actually, animals in general - because they seem to be more sensitive towards humans, than humans are towards them.?
