A forest official at the Zimbabwe National Park leapt into action when he spotted an impala stuck in the mud.

The official tied a rope around his waist and quickly rushed to the wild animal's rescue. Once he was close enough, he tied the rope around the impala, and had his friends pull them both back to dry land.
