From lions to rhinos: MrBeast saves 1000 wild animals from dying; netizens cheer ‘we made right person famous’
MrBeast said it was his ‘most ambitious mission yet,’ and gave his followers a glimpse into his part in saving the animals inside a wildlife clinic in Africa.
Influencer MrBeast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, turned saviour for nearly 1,000 wild animals, including jungle beasts like lions and rhinos. In his latest YouTube video, the 26-year-old said it was his “most ambitious mission yet,” and gave his followers a glimpse into his part in saving the animals inside a wildlife clinic in Africa.
In the caption of his now-viral video, MrBeast acknowledged the wildlife organisations that helped him help in his mission to save these animals with their expertise, and said, “I’m just one person and without any kind of expertise, I look to these organisations and people for help in doing videos like this.”
He shared that his latest video took months to put together. “I can't thank these organisations enough for giving us the info we needed to be able to help!”
Here's what MrBeast did:
In a 17-minute video titled “I Saved 1,000 Animals From Dying,” MrBeast helped a team of veterinarians perform a root canal on a lion suffering from a severe infection. “If we don’t fix this, he could literally die,” he said before the team got to work.
The YouTuber and his crew also assisted in rescuing animals trapped in some damaged zoos in Ukraine. He flew them safely back to a sanctuary in South Africa.
In the video, Mr Beast can be seen helping the crew relocate rhinos in an overcrowded reserve using tranquillisers and ropes to ensure that the animals don’t turn on each other in a fight for space. “…we’re helping them live,” the YouTuber said as the team placed a microchip and an anti-poaching collar on the rhinos before relocating them.
As the team flew over the Savannah, they used dart rifles to vaccinate giraffes against disease. “Sir, I promise it's good for you,” he said jokingly as he ran after the giraffes in a bid to get them vaccinated.
