When an injured elephant seal pup was rescued in 1994 at the animal center that would become the Aquarium of the Pacific, keepers were simply hoping she'd survive -- she did, and became a favorite of visitors and locals with a reputation for being "a gentle giant," as volunteer Hugh Ryono writes on the Aquarium's blog.

But when Ryono fell while feeding seal pups a year later and found himself unable to get out of the way of the pups' aggression, it was Gimpy that stepped in, protecting Ryono from an attack (and earning a writeup in Reader's Digest).

While some sites dispute the truth of this story, The Guardian reports that, in 2005, a girl in Ethopia was kidnapped by seven men and beaten for a week -- until three lions chased the men away and stood guard over the girl until police found her.

Theories for the lions' behavior range from the idea that they mistook her cries for those of a baby lion to the possibility that they were preparing to eat the girl when the police arrived, but The Guardian quotes an Ethopian police sergeant as saying, "If the lions had not come then it could have been much worse."

an African Watusi calf that intercepted his owner, Janice Wolf, while she was walking the paths of her Arkansas refuge.

Lurch refused to move out of the way and when Wolf grabbed his horns to guide him, he knocked her off balance -- thereby preventing her from stepping on a coiled copperhead snake she was about to disturb.

Amber Mason, an eight-year-old girl from Bucks, England, was in Phuket, Thailand when the tsunami struck in 2005 -- riding an elephant named Ningnong.

As the water rose, the elephant ran up the shore, taking the brunt of the impact and keeping Amber above the water.
