A crow found an unlikely saviour in a grizzly bear, when it ended up in a pond in its enclosure.
The bird had managed to fall into the water and was drowning when the grizzly discovered its plight and pulled it to safety.
Hang in there: Vali the bear discovers a crow flailing in her pond at Budapest Zoo, and goes to investigate
The terrified crow nabs Vali in the nose, and she immediately lets go of the wing, and retires to her apples and carrots.
Curiouser and curiouser: As the crow moves towards the edge of the water, Vali follows to investigate further
Vali the Valiant: The bear first tries to grab hold of the crow with her paw, but fails and bites on to its wing instead
Gotcha!: Vali the bear drags the drowning crow out of the water by its wing
Soon it manages to flip itself over on its feet and appears to be staring at Vali in surprise that she ‘saved’ it.
Ungrateful: The terrified crow bites back, by nabbing Vali in the nose, and she quickly lets go
The crow is left to recover on its own after biting Vali, she immediately returns to her non-violent treats of carrots and apples
Roughed up – but alive: The shocked crow eventually manages to get back on its feet
