If a yellow lab was drowning in the ocean, what would you do? I’m betting you jump in and save his life, right? Well what if the victim was a 400lb bear. What do you do then?

Well after a huge black wandered into a Florida community and accidentally walked towards the ocean after being shot with a tranquilizer, a hero stepped up to do the unthinkable, and save one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

But the dart sent the bear into a panic and he ran towards the ocean, evading officers.

Soon he began swimming out into the Gulf. But the further he went, the more drowsy he became.

That’s when Adam Warwick, a biologist with the Wildlife Commission, knew he had to act.

Diving into the ocean, he swam ahead of the bear and blocked his path to the open water.

“It was a spur of the moment decision. I had a lot of adrenaline pumping when I saw the bear in the water.”

Onlookers were shocked as the 400lb bear could have torn him limb from limb normally.

The bear tried lunging at Adam to climb on top of him and stay afloat, but he was losing the ability to move his legs.

Staying calm, the biologist grabbed the bear around the neck and brought him towards the shore.

Everyone held their breath as Adam dragged the nearly-400-pound bear twenty-five yards to land.

And then finally he got land under the groggy bear’s paws.

Amazingly, he only suffered one minor cut, and scrapes from barnacles on his feet.

Eventually others came out to help both man and beast with the final few years to shore.

The team was able to use a tractor bucket to transport the poor guy back to his home in Osceola National Forest.

Something tells me he’ll have quite a story to tell his bear friends.

Hopefully they believe him!

Hopefully this bear knows just how lucky he is that a legendary hero like Adam Warwick was around to save his life. I don’t even want to think what would have happened had he not been around. I’m certainly karma will pay Adam back soon.

But the water was too high for the little one.

Animals are much smarter than most people give them credit for. When disaster struck within this herd of elephants, they didn’t act helpless. Instead, the adults elephants proved just how intelligent and caring they are.
A tiny elephant calf attempted to cross the swollen Ewaso Nyiro in Kenya, but it proved to be too much for the little guy. The youngster was submerged in the swift current, but thanks to some quick thinking of his mom, wasn’t swept downstream.

The little calf thought it would be okay to cross…

He was caught up in the current almost immediately.

To see mom’s heroics in action, watch the video below. It’s hard to believe that these magnificent creatures are this intelligent. Absolutely amazing.

But mom was there to save the day.

The calf is almost fully submerged as his mother desperately tries to save him from being swept away

It’s about time more people realize that animals have thoughts and feelings, too. This video proves that this elephant mother definitely does. She was horrified to see her baby in trouble and would do anything to save him. Share her awesome save with others!

When this eagle found itself in a life-threatening situation it was lucky enough that there were some kind humans around to save its life.

 The eagle had apparently miscalculated its flight and hit the water too hard. With the extra weight from the water on its feathers it was unable to take off again.
It struggled in the water for a few minutes until it was spotted by nearby men, who quickly raced out on a little dingy. Armed with only a wooden pallet they manged to save the eagle by throwing the pallet out so the eagle had something to climb onto and wait for its feathers to dry.

Pallets are like duct tape, there are endless situations where one can come in handy.
