Witness a touching moment as a mother elephant tenderly reunited with her calf days after the young one had been separated from their herd.

Aerial footage captured the serene scene of the four to five-month-old calf peacefully sleeping nestled against its mother, following their emotional reunion.

Officials at the Anamalai Tiger Reserve in Tamil Nadu, India, successfully located and reunited the calf with its herd after it went missing on December 29th. The calf had wandered alone, visibly distressed and searching for its mother.

Elephant herds often delay their movement when a calf goes missing, demonstrating remarkable cohesion and concern for their young. They cautiously advance to avoid potential threats.

Thanks to drone Technology, conservation staff located the herd, which had moved approximately 2.5 miles from where the calf was found. Before reuniting the calf, it was carefully cleaned to eliminate human scents.

After three days apart, the reunion marked a poignant moment as the calf rejoined its mother and the rest of the herd.
