Here's a moment you rarely see in real life: Two animals working in tandem to rescue another like it's the climax of a Disney movie.

At the Grand Park Zoo in Seoul, South Korea, two elephants were seen on CCTV rushing to rescue a baby elephant who'd fallen into a pool. In the video, the little elephant was standing near the water's edge when it lost balance and fell into the pool.

With a little bit of teamwork, the elephants pushed the baby out of the water until it was safe.

Happily, zoo officials said that none of the elephants were hurt in the rescue, according to ABC News.
