Hippo to help: Amazing moment hippopotamus tries to rescue drowning wildebeest

Stuck on a rock in a crocodile infested river, this Wildebeest must have feared for its life.
And, separated from the rest of the herd with a group of hippos closing in, the prospects for the animal did not seem appealing.
But in an amazing act of animal compassion one of the passing hippos paddles over and gives the wildebeest a quick leg-up to set it on its way.
