Question

in 2017, a herd of eleven elephants in a cambodian wildlife preserve dipped into a giant mudhole for a drink and a bath. unfortunately, the elephants became stuck in the mud and were unable to climb back up the holes ten - foot sides. farmers discovered the elephants in crisis and alerted the wildlife conservation society. rescuers responded by digging a ramp into one side of the hole for the elephants to walk on. the ramp was slippery, but the elephants helped one another: they used their trunks and heads to push each other up the ramp. a complication arose when there were no elephants left to push out the last straggler. rescuers pitched in and used ropes to help drag the last elephant to safety.
