This is the adorable moment an elephant calf needed a lending hand from his mum after getting stuck in the mud in Zimbabwe.
The clip, filmed October 29 shows the moment the skinny-legged baby elephant got helped by his mum's trunk after getting stuck in the muddy slippery trench.
“The mother elephant uttered these deep and loud rumbling noises out of the concern and gently wrapped her trunk around the back of her calf. With hardly any effort, the mother carefully lifted her calf up the muddy slope and back onto safer grounds,” the filmer told Newsflare.
