A baby elephant who was separated from his mother and herd in Tamil Nadu, India, has been reunited with them by park officials. The baby, who is approximately 5 months old, became separated and was in distress looking for his mother. Forest officials located the herd using drones about 2.5 miles away, and bathed the baby, put mud on him to reduce human smell, and transported him on a truck to the herd. Mothers and herds usually do not move when a calf goes missing, but sometimes in areas of animal-human conflict, the matriarch has to choose between the safety of the herd over the individual. Several days later they came across the mother and calf having a quiet nap.
