The rhino came to investigate after hearing the zebra's desperate struggles and cries for help. The mother and herd were nowhere to be found.

After a few seconds examining the foal, the rhino used its horn and lifted the zebra out from the thick mud.

After helping the foal escape, he dropped the animal and wandered off.

South African photographer Roel van Muiden said the foal's mother "probably knew her child was caught in a hopeless situation and probably had good reason for abandoning it to its fate."
