Members of the Sri Lankan navy performed a massive rescue mission over the weekend when they saved two elephants that had become stranded in the ocean!
The pair of pachyderms are believed to have been swept into the sea by a strong current that left them submerged in water and fighting for their lives.
Remarkable footage of the incident shows the giant creatures barely visible on the surface of the water with their trucks emerging from the ocean as the elephants attempted to stay alive.
See video of the incredible rescue at the Coast to Coast AM website.
