As per the forest officials, the animal was later taken to the Assam State Zoo for treatment. While many viewers may be surprised to see how the animal was rescued, this is not the only time that such an attempt by forest officials has garnered social media attention. A tiger that was being released into the Sundarbans a part of a rescue operation, was filmed jumping off the boat and swimming away without a backward glance. The clip went viral and prompted many users to compare the scene with the 2012 film Life Of Pi. In February, a video of state forest officials rescuing an elephant from a ditch in West Bengal’s Midnapore went viral. The clip was shared by DFO (District Forest Officer) Sandeep Berwal on his Twitter handle. In the viral video, the young elephant can be seen struggling to get out of the pit. Check the video here:
