Shooter, a four-year-old elk, saves the day for a tiny marmot.
Earlier this year, zookeepers in Pocatello, Idaho watched in confusion as their 10-foot tall elk, Shooter, first put a foot in his drinking trough and then his whole head.
When he pulled his head from the water, he had a little marmot in his jaws. A marmot is a kind of squirrel and this little critter must have fallen into the water by mistake. Shooter gently placed the marmot on the ground and then nudged it with his foot to encourage the little creature to scurry away.
