 It didn't occur to them to maybe dig out a ramp and let her walk out? The poor little thing hotfooting it across the sand does make for adorable footage.

Not a quick or easy job with an anxious elephant mother, and her friends, fretting on the sidelines.

Hmmm... the BBC is preventing me from seeing this. Perfidious Albion!

Patrick, they managed to get rid of mama during the lasso process. I hope you took notes. I did. If I'm menaced by elephants, I now know to yell "Go! go! go! go! go!" and they'll just scat.

I know, but she could easily have come back with the rest of the herd in the hours that digging would have taken.
kerouac, the original is on Youtube, just search for "elephant waterhole amboseli"
