Here’s an amazing video of a daring rescue conducted by members of the Sri Lankan navy rescuing an elephant that was swept out to sea. While elephants are excellent swimmers, this one was fighting currents and was having a difficult time making it back to shore, to an operation was conducted to make sure the animal survived. It’s a pretty amazing story and great to see unfold. Hats off to the team that made the rescue.
