An orphaned rhino was rescued from a raging river by conservationists using a tractor tied to its horn.

Two-year-old Mimi had become stuck in mud in the Sibuya Game Reserve, South Africa, on April 15 and couldn’t get herself out.

Dramatic footage shows the 750kg rhino sinking into the mud while rescuers – two in the water with others on the bank – tied ropes around her body.
