Baby Elephant Stuck in a Manhole

This baby elephant got itself in quite a pickle after falling inside a manhole. The incident happened in Thailand’s Rayong province just after the young animal’s handler took it for a walk. It’s not something you see every day, and even sadder, the elephant looks like it had tears in its eye.

The poor calf stayed wedged in the hole for three hours, and rescuers had to bring in bulldozers to widen the hole so that they could get the elephant out of the tight spot. In Thailand, elephants are trained to move and carry heavy loads. They also ferry tourists going on jungle treks.
