A freshwater stingray that weighed 400 pounds was caught by fishermen in Cambodia in the Mekong River.

It is one of Southeast Asia’s rarest animals and measured 13-feet-long and was living almost 250 feet below the surface of the river.

Researchers were able to rescue the stingray and release it safely into the river.
