Zoo Officials Had NO IDEA What This Elk Was Doing. Then They Were In AWE!!

This is UNBELIEVABLE!

Staff members at Idaho's Pocatello Zoo were confused and curious when they saw an elk named Scooter spending an unusually long time fussing at his water pail.

For 15 minutes, Shooter kept dipping his head into the water, even pawing at the pail with his hooves. Finally, Shooter pulled something small and furry out of the water — and to everyone's surprise, it was a marmot — another zoo resident — who was drowning in the pail!! Scooter pulled him to safety and allowed him to recuperate on the grass. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, don't they?!

Please SHARE this incredible, heroic rescue!
