An elephant calf stuck in the mud is rescued by an older elephant in this adorable video making its way around the internet.
Filmed by Wild Wings Safaris which operate in East and South Africa, the footage shows the calf struggling to climb a muddy embankment.
After numerous attempts by the little one, adult elephants come to the rescue, using their trunks to push the calf up and out of its sticky spot.
