Two elephants that were swept out to sea were rescued by Sri Lanka's navy on Sunday, according to a CBS report.
The navy patrol located the elephants more than a half a mile from the shore, the navy said in a news release.
CBS reported that the animals, who likely were swept out while crossing a lagoon, were in distress.
The navy and wildlife officials sent in vessels and divers as part of its "mammoth effort," the news release said.
The elephants were "carefully directed to the shore without causing any harm to the animals" and released into the Foul Point jungle, the navy said.
