Young elephant shows heart during repeated attempts to get out of river

A young male elephant showed a ton of heart during repeated attempts to get out of a river in Kruger National Park in South Africa.

In the , the young elephant can be seen struggling to make his way onto the river bank.

As he's climbing, a large male elephant decides to go into the water at the same time and bumps the youngster back into the river.

"On his second attempt, the young male nearly makes it up the slippery bank, but in the end, finds himself sliding back down into the water," the filmer explained.

"On the third attempt, he puts all his energy into getting out and, to our relief, he finally manages to get out the water and move on to join the rest of the herd."
