Amateur footage shows how six-week-old baby elephant Omysha received a helping 'trunk' after landing herself in a spot of trouble.

WATCH: ADORABLE PIGLET GALLOPS IN DELIGHT

Precariously trying to climb out of a pit in her enclosure at Zurich Zoo, Switzerland, the tiny calf struggled to find her balance before tumbling backwards and landing on her bum.

Legs and trunk flailing helplessly in the air, the wobbly tot soon started panicking.

Don't worry though, animal lovers- help was on hand.

Much to the delight of onlookers, no sooner had Omysha fallen, her parents swooped to the rescue.

The protective pair rushed over and swiftly managed to use their trunks to prop her up, before guiding her to safety and protectively circling her.

An elephant never forgets, so let's hope the calf learnt from the incident and doesn't take on any more risky climbs for the foreseeable future.
