A beluga whale saved a drowning diver by hoisting her to the surface, carrying her leg in its mouth.
Grateful ... Yang Yun returns to surface of the
aquarium after her dramatic rescue
aquarium after her dramatic rescue
Terrified Yang Yun thought she was going to die when her legs were paralysed by crippling cramps in arctic temperatures.
She had been taking part in a free diving contest WITHOUT any breathing equipment.
Competitors had to sink to the bottom of an aquarium's 20ft arctic pool and stay there for as long as possible amid the beluga whales at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China.
But when Yun, 26, tried to head to the surface she struggled to move her legs.
Terrified ... Yang Yun dangles helplessly
Lucky Yun said: "I began to choke and sank even lower and I thought that was it for me - I was dead. Until I felt this incredible force under me driving me to the surface."
