The dramatic moment when the male rhinoceros tried to help the zebra foal and lift it with its horn at the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa was captured in a series of photos by guide Roel van Muiden.
He said, “This was an amazing interaction between two species and one that I was lucky to see. Unfortunately, the rhino’s seemingly good intentions ended badly when its attempt to rescue a baby zebra stuck in the mud ended with the zebra getting killed instead.”
