nainitalThe extremely beautiful Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve of Uttarakhand is known worldwide for its unmatched jungle experiences, exciting wildlife activities and rich biodiversity, But these days, a scene has emerged from here which has surprised tourists as well as wildlife lovers, This viral video that surfaced from Dhikala Tourism Zone is a living proof of the amazing power of nature and the extraordinary abilities of elephants,
This video is of Ramganga river, in which a huge herd of elephants is seen crossing the river about 25 feet deep with ease and excellent coordination. This scene is so exciting and unbelievable that every person watching it is forced to clench his teeth. This amazing moment has been captured in his camera by Ramnagar resident famous wildlife lover, nature guide and photographer Sanjay Chhimwal.
Small elephant babies are also included
It is clearly visible in the video that despite the strong current and increased water level in the river, the entire group of elephants enters the water in a disciplined manner. The herd also includes small baby elephants, who are being given protection by keeping them in the middle of the group. The big and experienced elephants in front are moving forward smoothly, making way for them, while the rest of the elephants behind are following the same line. This scene is not only full of thrill, but also reveals the social structure, intelligence and spirit of cooperation of elephants.
Good swimmer with heavy body
Wildlife lover Sanjay Chhimwal said that people generally consider elephants to be heavy and less agile, but this thinking is completely wrong. Elephants are excellent climbers as well as excellent swimmers. Their heavy body provides them with stability in the water and their natural confidence makes them capable even in challenging situations. He informed that this scene had come to light a day earlier during a safari in Takla zone. At that time, after the rain, the water level of Ramganga river had increased significantly. Crossing the river in front of the elephants was not an easy task, but their collective understanding and natural leadership ability made this problem very easy. Keeping small elephants in the middle and protecting them shows their social behavior, which is a unique feature of the animal world.
This sight is very rare
Both Dhikala and Takla zones are counted among the most exciting areas of Corbett Tiger Reserve. Here tourists are often able to see rare views of tiger, chinkara, deer, sambar and various birds. But this scene of elephants crossing the river is rarely captured on camera. This is the reason why this video has become increasingly viral on social media and is continuously attracting people’s attention. This spectacular moment of Corbett Tiger Reserve is not only attractive for tourists, but is also a proof of nature’s own beauty and surprising phenomena.
