The Urulanthanni River
The Urulanthanni River is a special spot in India; it is here that many of the resident elephants roam. They will either stop for a drink, or dive in to enjoy a nice bath. People who work in this area know that the elephants frequent this spot. With that knowledge, the people often try to stay away from the area to respect the elephants. They can always feel the herds coming; the ground shakes beneath them! It’s always a beautiful sight to watch the giants in their natural habitat.
The Deep River
Naturally, baby elephants are nowhere near the size of their adult family members. While getting around the forests and through the deep rivers is easy for fully-grown elephants, the babies often struggle with the strong current and depth. With this in mind, the rest of the herd always keep an eye on the smaller members, making sure they get where they’re going safely. Unfortunately, a grave mistake was made on this particular day when the herd was approaching the river.
