Elephant Herd Blocks Road for Hours – What They Were Protecting Stuns Onlookers

The herd had been protecting it the whole time. Shielding it from view. Blocking the road so no cars could get close.

Rescuers worked quickly, using ropes and tools to lift the small warthog from the ditch. The adult elephants stayed near, restless but cooperative.

As soon as the warthog was free, the herd began to back away, slowly returning to the trees.
