An excavator was used by the rescuers to create a hole in the well's wall, so that the elephant could climb up it and escape.
As officials worked to rescue the trapped animal, the elephant could be seen anxiously moving around inside the well and trying to climb up the wall.
As soon as a portion of the wall is broken to make way for it, the elephant, which appeared to be a young animal, clambers out of the well. Relieved to have just come out of danger, the elephant moves towards the forest as locals with their mobile phone cameras run behind.
