It's something you don't see everyday, one animal saving another, especially since they are different species. Check out the video of the huge elk saving the little marmot.

I didn't know what a marmot was till I watched the video, but it's a little furry beaver looking creature. He gets trapped in a big water tub and is apparently drowning. It takes the elk a few minutes work to figure out how exactly to get the marmot out but he eventually does. This is complex thinking for the elk but he felt the need to help the little guy out.
