Bull rhino 'rescues' zebra foal from mud - with tragic consequences

HELPLESSLY stuck in a patch of mud, this tiny zebra foal appeared doomed to a prolonged and agonising death.

Then along came the most unlikely of rescuers - a gigantic bull rhino who had been attracted by the creature's desperate struggles and mewling cries, Daily Mail reported yesterday.

It was the work of a moment for the enormous animal to hoist the foal out of the mud and to safety. But tragically this was one rescue that did not have a happy ending. Oblivious to its own strength, the rhino ended up impaling the zebra on its horn, the report said.
