Elephant cows exhibit extraordinary maternal instincts. During perilous river crossings, when young calves can be swept away by powerful currents, the adults act with remarkable coordination and courage. They use their massive bodies to form living barriers against the raging water, deploy their strong trunks to help the struggling... show more

Look at this extraordinarily brave elephant herd, staying together, protecting their young and fighting raging waters ! Heartbreaking, yet an extraordinary story of resilience. Amid the devastating floods in Nepal, a herd of five wild elephants, three adults and two young calves, was swept into the powerful currents eventually reaching the Girijapuri Barrage in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh. The adults stayed with the struggling calves, battling the current to protect them. In a timely intervention, Forest and Irrigation Department teams reduced the force of the water at the barrage and guided the herd safely towards the riverbank and back into the forest. Kudos to all those who helped save these precious lives. News source Dalimss News and ElBuni #Nepal #elephants

Elephants don't drink through their trunks – they drink with them. A trunk can hold up to 8 litres of water in a single draw. The elephant pulls it up, then curls the trunk to release the water into the mouth. On a hot day at Voi, that sequence repeats over and over. It takes young orphans time to master. Calves are born without full trunk coordination – in their earliest weeks, many kneel at the waterhole and drink directly with their mouth. The trunk comes later, learned by watching older members of the herd. These orphans have it well and truly mastered. Step into Voi:

Since we leave the calves with their mothers to nurse, they don’t associate us with food and can get a little feral. I prevent this by sorting the young calves every day into a smaller pen and smothering them with human attention. It’s not too hard to find volunteers for this job! #cowcalfcontactdairy #cowwithcalfdairy #dairywelfare #calves

A young Golden retriever was swept away by the strong ocean current, struggling as the waves pulled him farther from shore. Just when it seemed impossible to return, a dolphin appeared beside him, gently guiding him through the water and pushing him toward safety. Moments later, the puppy reached the beach, shaking but alive, and ran straight into his mother's arms. Sometimes help comes from the most unexpected hearts.

Swept away by the raging Kern River, a woman is found clinging to the underside of a cliff. Newly released aerial footage captures the dramatic rescue after the woman was carried downstream by the fast-moving current in California. Rescuers spotted her partially submerged, hanging on beneath a rock, before pulling off a life-saving rescue. Officials warn the Kern River is extremely dangerous, with powerful currents, icy water, and hidden hazards that can overwhelm even experienced swimmers.

During this rainy season, everyone is urged to exercise extreme caution. Earlier today in Maasai Mara National Reserve, a powerful bull elephant was forced to turn back after attempting to cross the heavily flooded Sand River. The strong current and rising water levels made the crossing too dangerous, even for such a massive animal. This serves as a clear reminder to all driver guides and visitors that rivers can become extremely unpredictable during the rains. Please approach river crossings carefully and avoid unnecessary risks. Safety should always come first in these conditions. 🎥 Video by Enock Sayagie.

A 33-year-old tourist from Karnataka died after being swept away by powerful waves while sitting on rocks at Baga Beach in north Goa, officials said on Wednesday. The victim was identified as Sahas Ashpak Masali, a resident of Karnataka's Bijapur district. According to preliminary information, Masali was sitting on rocks along the shoreline when a series of strong waves, triggered by rough sea conditions, swept him into the water. Despite immediate efforts to trace him, he was carried away by the powerful currents. Authorities launched a search and rescue operation shortly after the incident. After several hours of searching, rescue teams recovered his body from the shoreline. A video purportedly capturing the incident has since gone viral on social media, underscoring the dangers of venturing onto rocky stretches during rough sea conditions. The footage appears to show a man struggling in the turbulent waters near the rocks after being overwhelmed by the waves. With the sea churning violently and visibility poor, an immediate rescue was difficult, while onlookers on the shore could be heard reacting in shock as the incident unfolded. Following the tragedy, officials once again urged tourists to stay away from rocks along the coastline and avoid entering the sea during high tide or periods of rough weather. They warned that powerful waves can strike without warning, making rocky coastal areas particularly dangerous.

For a newborn elephant calf, the Teesta River became a terrifying journey away from his mother. Only 3–4 days old, he was swept nearly 5 km downstream by the river’s powerful currents while crossing with his mother. As the calf struggled to stay afloat, five local fishermen spotted him and rushed into the dangerous waters, risking their own lives to pull him to safety. But getting him out of the river was only half the rescue. The little calf kept calling for his mother, so the fishermen and forest personnel from Baikunthapur Forest Division began searching the river-island area for her. After nearly two hours, they found her. The calf was reunited with his mother and was seen nursing before the two moved back towards the forest. #ElephantRescue #WildlifeRescue #TeestaRiver #WildlifeConservation [elephant calf rescue, Teesta River elephant rescue, elephant rescued by fishermen, wildlife rescue in West Bengal, Baikunthapur Forest Division]

What captured these children's attention? At this stop of the Yichang Hydropower Summer Camp, young explorers visited the Yangtze River Rare Fish Breeding Base and the Yangtze River Rare Plant Research Institute. They came face to face with Chinese sturgeons, discovered rare plants and learned how life along the Yangtze River is protected. From the "living fossil" swimming in the water to plants rooted along the riverbank, each encounter opened up a new world of curiosity. Watch the video and follow their journey of discovery.

Phang: As many as 48% of battered women said they had delayed leaving a dangerous situation out of concern for their pet’s safety. Some survivors have reported living in their cars with their companion animals rather than leaving them behind. The Pet and Women Safety Act—was introduced so that domestic violence shelters could get the funding needed to allow victims to bring their pets with them to a shelter. And of course, the Republicans now want to do away with it.
