Men rush to save a drowning newborn zebra and the mother's reaction went viral

If you think that animals in captivity are not free from danger, think twice.

Only a couple of days ago there was an unexpected event at the zoo in Valencia, Spain, in which a baby zebra almost lost its life, if not for the quick intervention of the staff.

Zookeepers saved the life of a newborn zebra that accidentally fell into the pond after being born, the park reported in a statement.

La Niña, one of the zebras that live in the area of the savanna of Bioparc, went into labor. The staff observed and confirmed that life finds a way.

After shedding the umbilical cord and the placenta, the newborn fell into the water accidentally and was in danger of drowning. Follow us on Twitter for more @amomama_usa.

Bioparc professionals ensured the well-being of the animal and the two caregivers entered the pond, driving away the nervous mother who was also trying to enter the water to help her newborn baby.

HAPPY ENDING

In a few seconds, they managed to catch the foal and leave it to safety, a moment in which the mother began to lick it carefully to verify that it was well.

With the "happy ending" the visitors and park staff breathed a sigh of relief and showed their joy and excitement with applause and congratulations, according to the same sources.

The foal and the female are well and instinctively the boy follows his mother, who maintains protection and breastfeeding on demand.

The people in charge of the Zoo communicated through their social media that La Niña and her small calf, which turned out to be a male, are completely well and out of danger.

The mother, La Niña, arrived in 2007 from the Halle Zoo (Germany) and the father, Zambé, was transferred from Safari de Peaugres (France) in 2012.

This rescue reminds us of a tourist that saved an impala after it got stuck in the mud at Kruger National Park. The special moment was captured on camera and soon became viral.

The man was praised for his selfless act, especially since it was not an easy task. He had to have enough strength to pull the animal out without falling into the mud himself.

If the man did not save the helpless animal, it could have died because of starvation or predators could have attacked it.

Fortunately, even though it looked exhausted, the impala stood up and walked off its limp legs to be reunited with its herd.
