Wild stallion rescues a filly in raging water! Forest Service Volunteer Becky Standridge watched and took photos as a group of wild horses went for a swim in an Arizona creek. One of them, a young filly, went too deep and got into trouble. So Champ, the stallion, went to her rescue.

Elk saves drowning marmot from his drinking trough!
Keepers at Pocatello Zoo, Idaho, were worried when they noticed Shooter, a four-year-old elk, acting strangely at his water trough. They watched as he tried to dip his hooves in, before attempting to dunk his whole head in the water. Then they were amazed as 10ft tall Shooter lifted his head from the trough clutching a tiny marmot - a kind of large squirrel - between his jaws! He spent quite a bit of time planning how to grab it. Way to go Shooter!
