Six elephants died while trying to save each other from a notoriously dangerous waterfall in Thailand, authorities said Saturday.
The tragic incident happened at the Khao Yai National Park when a baby tusker slipped into the waterfall — known locally as Haew Narok, or “Hell’s Fall” — and the others rushed over to help, according to the BBC.
Park officials said they heard elephant cries coming from a creek near the waterfall Saturday at around 3 a.m.
About three hours later, officials found the body of the 3-year old tusker near the base of the falls. Five other elephants were discovered in a nearby ravine.
