On Monday, a video went viral on social networking platforms in India showing how a mother elephant thanked a group of people after they rescued her baby from a deep jungle pit.
The two-minute video, showing a mama-elephant saluting humans in gratitude with her trunk up-high near a waterfall, was posted on Twitter by Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Parveen Kaswan.
Best you will watch today. An #elephant calf fell into a ditch which was rescued. And see how mother stopped to thank the people. This is typical behaviour, elephants first try to rescue by their own, then leave space & stand far for getting help from Human. Via WA so quality. pic.twitter.com/rPx1EN9UIB

Humans rarely do good things to animals! I’ll like to believe she thanked humans!
