BANGKOK (AP) — Six baby elephants, trapped in a mud hole and separated from their parents, have been rescued by a team of park rangers in northeastern Thailand.

The rangers came across the elephant calves on Wednesday afternoon as they were struggling to climb the pit's slippery banks, according to officials of Thap Lan National Park.On Thursday, as the elephants wallowed together at one side of the pit, rangers at the other side spent four hours using hoes and pickaxes to dig out enough mud to form a ramp.

The last of the animals then lingers, after all the others have made it past the tree line. It faces the rangers for a moment, turns, pauses and finally runs into the jungle.Park chief Prawatsart Chantep said there were signs that a herd of elephants believed to be related to the trapped infants was circling the area.

'We are devastated': Indianapolis Zoo says 2 youngest elephants died within a week'We are devastated': Indianapolis Zoo says its youngest elephants have died within a week of one another. Jail sux! Yeah it's cross and cross was roman's symbol. And so they become village's pagan idol hero. And they back to everlasting crusader - christianity - which was heavily redacted with roman domestic custom including arctic. Then it becomes UFO the admin is. Terribly sad news. A few questions for IndianapolisZoo: Do elephants in zoo care have a higher incidence of EEHV than those in the wild? Higher associated mortality rate? How far along is vaccine research? Any promising breakthroughs?
