Emil and Chrys

Emil and Chrys are both #wildlifeheroes that participated an extraordinary rescue of this Green Heron. Chrys noticed the heron near the opposite bank on the New River, it’s leg and wing entangled in fishing line. Emil immediately swam across the river. Then while treading water, Emil, not having a knife, chewed through the fishing line freeing the heron! Emil then swam the waterlogged bird back across the river. The heron was lucky, suffering only exhaustion and hunger. He was released today back to his home. This heron would’ve died without their help.
