A very young elephant was discovered in Cambodia with a severe injury to her front leg caused by a snare. She was only about five months old and was also being chased by dogs when rescuers found her.
Wildlife officials quickly secured the calf and brought in veterinary specialists. She was transported for professional care, beginning what would become a long road toward recovery.
For a fragile elephant this young, every day mattered. Her rescue became a powerful reminder that even the smallest animals can survive when dedicated people refuse to give up on them.
