This cow fell into a water canal near
Tzaneen in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. With the help
of the Tzaneen Fire Department, tow-in service, Sonco, and several
helpers, the cow was finally saved from certain death. Several
attempts to remove her from the canal failed, mostly due to the steep
sides of the canal. Eventually, some three hours into the rescue
effort, she was removed from the canal using a winch from the tow
truck! Once on dry ground, she lay perfectly still at first,
exhausted from her ordeal. It didn't take her long to scramble
to her feet and run off into the bushveld however. The owner of
the cow says she is doing well and has recovered from her ordeal,
despite being in calf! The 'rescue' took place on April 22.
