This Elephant Calf Stuck in the Mud Symbolizes All of Our Struggles

Wild Wings Safaris, a safari tourism business which works in southern and east Africa, has shared an adorable video of a poor young elephant struggling to get the better of some mud.

In the video, posted to Facebook and YouTube on November 27, the calf is seen struggling to make its way up a small climb, however after a few efforts from one older elephant (apparently its mother), a “more experienced female” came along to help rescue the youngster from its predicament.

The YouTube version of the video had 1,494 views at time of writing. The footage was shared once again, this time as a Facebook video, by Wild Wings Safaris on November 29 and that version had clocked up over 102,000 views by December 1. Credit: Facebook/Wild Wings Safaris
