WATCH: Sheikh Hamdan rescues oryx in Dubai

  DUBAI - Social media burst with praise for the crown prince of Dubai who was caught on video rescuing an entangled oryx. The video posted on his Instagram account has gotten more than 350,000 views as of Monday afternoon. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum was cruising in a sanctuary in the emirate when he spotted the animal with a net tangled around its head. Sheikh Hamdan and his team followed the animal in a four-wheel drive until they got close enough for the crown prince to shoot the panicked animal with a tranquiliser. When it was sedated, Sheikh Hamdan and his team then freed the animal from the net that got tangled on its head. Later, the young prince administers a shot on the oryx to reverse the effects of the sedative. The oryx is later seen on its feet before heading back to its herd.

This is not the first time Sheikh Hamdan has rescued animals. At a Dubai beach, he was spotted pushing a turtle back into the water after the animal got stuck on the shore. He also rescued a gazelle with a net that got tangled around its hooves.
