When asked about the rescue, a member of the naval team said that it was lucky that they happened to be on a mission in that part of the sea that day. They were grateful to have been able to help Jumbo, who was just trying to make his way across the lagoon. The crew had never experienced anything like this before, and it was a moment that they would always remember.
After the rescue, Jumbo was able to rest and recover from his ordeal. The wildlife department monitored him for a while, making sure that he was healthy and safe. Despite the ordeal he had gone through, the elephant was found to be in surprisingly good health.
