When a herd of elephants came together to save a drowning calf.
 
The baby elephant became trapped after almost being swept away while crossing the Ewaso Nyiro river in Kenya.  Its mother rushed to her offspring's aid desperately trying to free the calf before another elephant joined in.   She used her trunk to free the youngster and eventually guide it to safety.  The images were captured by Sandy Gelderman, a guest at a luxury camp in Ol Pejeta Conservancy in central Kenya
