Elephant Stuck in Mud Saved by Indian Villagers

An elephant that was stuck in the mud got help from villagers in India.

Locals near Kochi saved the pachyderm after it became trapped in a swamp. It was being transported to a parade when it got stuck.

Heavy equipment couldn’t reach the area, prompting locals to jump in and free the beast.

They filled the swamp with bags of sand until they could extricate the elephant.

According to a video from Vocativ, more than 200 locals got involved and helped.

Overall, it took about 17 hours to finally free the animal.

The clip was shot last year.
