An elephant was saved from nearly dying of dehydration after it got stuck in a muddy well in Isiolo, Kenya overnight.
It took a team four hours to free the terrified mammal who was then given 100 litres of water.

It was trapped overnight in a muddy well at Northern Rangelands Trust community conservancy, according to UPI news.
Once it was given the water, the team – along with the help of members of the community and the use of three cars – managed to pull the elephant out.
The Northern Rangelands Trust and Save the Elephants also lent a hand.
And the team later said that the elephant has since been sighted and is doing well.
The conservancy added: ‘The trust this dehydrated and scared wild animal showed in his rescuers was beyond incredible.’
