A video being circulated widely on social media shows a herd of elephants escorting a baby jumbo as they make their way through a road.
The viral video features the calf making the best use of its tiny legs while trying to keep up with the massive jumbos that are escorting it.
The 38-second clip was shared on Twitter by IFS officer Susanta Nanda.
