An Elephant Saw Her Caretaker Drowning in a River. What She Did Next Will Warm Your Heart.

Elephant Rescues Her Caretaker Drowning in a River.

Elephants have long been known to share similar traits with humans such as empathy, grief, and several other traits. Even when meeting new elephants, many will intertwine their trunks to say ‘hello’ just like humans who would shake hands. They also sense danger and will do everything to save other animals in distress and elephants have been seen saving humans.

At the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand, an elephant named Kham Lha sees her caretaker Darrick drowning in the river. Darrick is only pretending to be in trouble but you can see the immediate reaction of Kham Lha and her efforts to save him.
