Elephant Helps Save Kids From Tsunami
Dec 29, 2004
Phuket, Thailand
When Mother Nature unleashed its wrath, a member of the Animal Kingdom stepped in.
A British tourist says she saw an elephant save several children on a Thai beach when the killer waves struck.
The animal had been brought to a beach resort in Phuket to entertain children.
Laura Barnett says the elephant’s keeper hoisted kids up onto the animal’s back, and then walked them off to safety.
Barnett told her tale from London. She and her family escaped the disaster, but the beach where she was staying was destroyed.
