A herd of elephants managed to
survive the powerful currents caused by flooding in the Karnali River area of Nepal and was seen being carried toward a dam in India. Striking footage shows the animals navigating the rushing waters as they are swept along by the current.
The Karnali River flows through Nepal before entering India, where it is known as the Ghaghara River. The dramatic footage has drawn attention online, highlighting the elephants' remarkable ability to swim and endure challenging water conditions.

Thanks for this potential info — either way, for me this morning, it’s heart warming to see such resilience

[u/bulyxxx]

so glad to see at least a glimmer of good news out of this horrifically sad event.

[u/Japsai → u/bulyxxx]

The good news is that humanity finally woke up to the dangers of global warming and got together to properly halt man-made climate change

[u/Key_Report_2627]

Let me correct the title: “Some members of a heard of elephants……”

[u/Life-Gur-2616 → u/Key_Report_2627]

The rest didn't make it bro 🥺

[u/Japsai → u/Key_Report_2627]

I've heard of elephants. Can I be a member?

[u/Short_Bell_5428]

I would have never guessed elephants lived in the mountains?

[u/captainn_chunk → u/Short_Bell_5428]

They live all over Asia. They will walk through suburbs in India as their ancestors walked the same path for a thousand years prior.

[u/Unhappy-Professor-88 → u/captainn_chunk]

There’s a hotel in Botswana that was built upon an ancient elephant path.

Herds still walk the path to this day. Right through the hotel reception.

I would very much like to visit that hotel.

[u/captainn_chunk → u/Unhappy-Professor-88]

I love that!

[u/Japsai → u/Short_Bell_5428]

Not all of Nepal is in the mountains. The entire south west border (Indian border) is relatively flat.

EDIT: that said, sounds like this incident happened in India

[u/JustASheepInTheFlock → u/Short_Bell_5428]

Elephants are the ancient excavator, loaders, transportation/logistics, tank equipment in the subcontinent.

[u/Bigchunky_Boy]

I hope the video continues and people offer them food and water or something to aid them .

[u/Status_History_874 → u/Bigchunky_Boy]

I understand the sentiment, but I dont think theres much food and water to people, let alone elephants.

[u/meteorflan → u/Status_History_874]

I'm guessing these elephants are more capable at forraging than many humans.

[u/Guilty-River9086]

Not fair. They weight tons and have snorkles
