An adventurous bull managed to climb the stairs of a 200ft water tower - but then prompted a massive rescue operation, after becoming stranded up there.
Incredible scenes unfolded near the structure in northern India's Haryana, where volunteers rescued the bull during a four-hour operation, on Thursday.
Footage of the unusual event show volunteers in the Rewari district using a crane to reach the platform where the bull had climbed.
After reaching the balcony-like structure, the rescuers wrapped ropes around the animal that were attached to the crane.
Once the ropes were secured, the animal was safely lowered down on to a truck and moved to a safer location.
A large number of people gathered below to watch events unfold.
Some have questioned why the gates of the water storage tank were kept open, which ultimately allowed the bovine to enter the structure and climb almost 200ft.
Fortunately for the animal, rescuers were able to return the bull back down to terra firma.
