Apart from a few minor injuries and signs of dehydration, he was given a clean bill of health. The veterinary team spent several days nursing the animal back to full strength, providing him with plenty of food and water and giving him the medical attention he needed. Once they were sure that he was strong enough, they released him back into the wild.
The crew of the naval team was overjoyed to hear that Jumbo was doing well and that he had returned to his natural habitat. The young elephant, after spending several days in the veterinary hospital, was eager to be back in his natural habitat, and as soon as he was released, he bounded off towards the jungle, disappearing into the undergrowth.
