A rescue like no other was carried out this Thursday, May 9, by the Hautes-Pyrénées firefighters, who recounted this unusual intervention on their Facebook page. That day, a young calf, "just born",made a significant fall on a slope above the river and found himself stuck thirty meters below the ravine.
A rescue board to cross the river
As access to reach the animal was impassable, it was necessary to mobilize a vehicle from the specialized team of divers, as well as a veterinarian and a nurse. On their social network, the firefighters shared photos of this successful rescue, since the little calf was able to be recovered alive and in good health.
He was brought back to the bank using a rescue board, due to the strong current of the river caused by the recent rains which affected the department, specifies France 3.
The calf was returned to its mother, after a veterinary examination.
