Instead of panicking, the clever elephants teamed up and overcame the tough situation they found themselves.

After an initial fail, he figured out the best technique to climb over, helped by his female friend who pushed him. Shortly after, the female followed him using the same technique. It took nearly an hour for the pair to safely cross.
