A tapir escaped from a conservation center at an Indonesian zoo and needed a little help from rescuers when it fell into a nearby palace pond and became trapped.

The female tapir was surrounded by rescuers, who used ropes to make a harness around the animal. The tapir struggled against the rescuers, wiggling its trunk and body and trying to sink further into the water.
