Man rescues impala from mud

Footage has emerged of a man rescuing an impala that became stuck neck-high in mud.

The video, captured in Tanzania, shows the man getting into the mud and hauling the female impala out with his hands.

He eventually managed to bring the animal out unharmed.

"It's true that it's not a good idea to interfere in nature but when it comes to a distressed female impala stuck up to her neck in mud at sundown then exceptions have to be made," the filmer wrote online.

Although the footage was captured in 2014, it has recently emerged online.
