An exciting rescue

I took this photo while we were on a safari holiday in Kenya last February. It was an amazing rescue and I was lucky to see it.

It happened while we were taking photos of wild animals. We were driving slowly when we saw a bulldozer. There was a group of people and they were looking at something. There was on elephant. It was in a mud hole and it couldn't get out. The elephant wasn't moving, but it was alive. A bulldozer was breaking the sides of the hole. As soon as it was possible, the elephant climbed out. After a few minutes, it walked away.

The elephant was very lucky to be alive after twelve hours in the hole. The rescuers were very pleased and one of them posted a video of the rescue online.
