🐘 Heartwarming Reunion in Kaziranga: Watch How ‘Chotu’ the Elephant Calf Was Reunited with Its Mother!
A heartwarming rescue operation unfolded in Kaziranga National Park when a mischievous elephant calf, affectionately nicknamed “Chotu,” got separated from its mother. Thanks to the swift action of vigilant forest officials, the little one was safely reunited with its herd in a touching reunion that has since gone viral.
A Playful Calf’s Misadventure
The young elephant wandered away from its mother, leaving it vulnerable in the vast wilderness of Kaziranga. Fortunately, the alert forest department spotted the stranded calf and sprang into action to ensure its safety.
A Clever Trick to Reunite Mother and Calf
To prevent the mother from rejecting the calf due to human scent, the officials applied an ingenious solution—they rubbed the mother’s dung on Chotu to mask any foreign smells. This age-old wildlife trick helped the calf blend back into the herd seamlessly.
The Viral Video That Melted Hearts
The entire rescue was captured in an endearing video clip shared by Susanta Nanda IFS (Retd) on his X (formerly Twitter) handle. The clip, overflowing with cuteness, has taken the internet by storm, amassing 797.7K views and 20K likes—and counting!
