Endearing Moment Baby Elephant Goes Into River To Save Her Caretaker Whom She Thought Was "Drowning"
Swimming is not only enjoyable; it’s also a fantastic way to stay active, maintain health, and meet new people. There’s nothing like entering the pool and letting the water soothe your skin, especially on a sunny day.
You can engage in swimming as a healthy activity for the rest of your life. It is a low-impact exercise with numerous advantages for both physical and mental health.
Sometimes we even swim with our pets, which makes it all the more fun. But in this case, the elephant was concerned for her caretaker and felt the need to save him.
This cute scene shows a baby elephant jumping into a river to save her best friend, whom she thought was drowning. The touching event took place at the Elephant Nature Park, a sanctuary for elephants in Thailand, and it was documented on video.
In this beautiful footage, Kham Lha, a 5-year-old elephant, is seen rushing to save her keeper, Darrick Thomson, who is 24 years old. The man was swimming in the river, but the compassionate elephant believed her favorite person was actually in serious trouble, so she leaped into the water and rushed toward Darrick to rescue him.
The man obviously didn't require saving, but it is still amazing to see how sweet this baby elephant is!

"I went into the river to show just how remarkable the relationship with humans is," Darrick, originally from Canada, said. "If you show warmth and kindness to them, they will treat you well, too."
The kind-hearted elephant, Kham Lha, had a very difficult history and was brought to the sanctuary along with the other 18 rescued elephants.

The cute animals were made to carry tourists on their backs or perform tricks for amusement on the streets of Thailand. Thankfully, though, the cruelty was put to an end, and they may now live peacefully once more.
According to the caretaker, Kham Lha first arrived in a terrible state.
"She had been tied up and forced to undergo tough training known as crushing to prepare her to work in the tourist industry. We freed her and helped her recover. She became really close to me."
Now they share an incredible bond, and as the video proved, Kham Lha doesn’t want her friend to ever get hurt

When Kham Lha first arrived, she was only four years old. She quickly made friends with a staff member named Darrick, who took care of her as if she were his own child.
They now have a remarkable friendship, and the video demonstrated Kham Lha's desire for her companion to never experience pain. That's just wonderful.
