Keepers at Pocatello Zoo, Idaho, were worried when they noticed Shooter, a four-year-old elk, acting strangely at his water trough.

The Elk was rescuing a wee marmot who had gotten trapped in his water bucket and was going to drown. H saved him. Planned it as his antlers were in the way so he pushed the wee fellow into the centre of the bucket and scooped him out with his mouth. The marmot was just fine and ran away.
