GIVES YOU WINGS: Airlift Rescue For Red-Faced Bull Trapped For Two Days Behind Waterfall

This is the moment a bull trapped behind a waterfall after wandering off from its enclosure is airlifted to safety near Madrid.

Local rescue authorities were called in by a farmer in Rascafria – a small town a few miles north of the Spanish capital – after he discovered one of his bulls stranded in Paular Valley.

The farmer tried in vain to free the trapped bull and the animal failed to leave the dangerous spot on its own.

Experts had to wait for two days to mount a daring helicopter rescue on the stricken beast.

Video footage of the drama shows a vet applying a tranquiliser before firefighters and wildlife experts fasten a harness to the bull.
