Two hippos helped a trapped duckling escape their pond at the zoo

Hup!

TWO HIPPOS CAME to the rescue of a tiny duckling that was trapped in their pond at Diergaarde Blijdorp Zoo in the Netherlands recently.

The little bird got stuck on a ledge, and flapped around helplessly until the hippos gave it a boost.
