In a shocking event, a nine-month-old baby elephant was sighted in West Bengal, India, using a hand-pump to quench its thirst.

The incident occurred in the Alipurduar district's Jaldapara region. After seeing locals using the hand-pump to sip water, the thirsty baby elephant decided to do the same to relieve its thirst.
