I'm fixing a hole

Where the earth caved in

To stop the changs 

From falling in

Where they will go ....oh

Two elephants rescued from sink hole in Kanchanaburi forest
 

 

A backhoe and a team of veterinarians in a forest in Thong Pha Phum district of Kanchanaburi province have helped an elephant and its calf to get out of sink hole, in which they had become trapped.

 

Officials of the Lam Khlong Ngu National Park were informed by villagers yesterday (Sunday) that they found the two pachyderms trapped in a hole in Khao Bo Rae national forest reserve in Chalae sub-district, which is outside the territory of the national park.

 

The national park chief, Pichet Chaisawat, said he immediately sent his men to investigate. They reported finding the two elephants in the hole and about ten other elephants in the surrounding area, apparently protecting the two trapped animals.
