Thailand's national TV Channel 7 reported on the case of a pregnant buffalo that was rescued after falling down a well.

 

It happened in Nam Chun sub-district of Lomsak in Phetchabun province.

 

 

The 66 year old owner of a herd of 18 buffaloes had noticed one missing after letting them graze behind a resort.

 

Missing was three year old "Jao San" or "Shorty".

 

 

She was a 500-600 kilo beast pregnant for eight months.

 

Ten rescuers set up a winch and managed to haul the buffalo out after a two hour operation. 

 

Shorty was tired and unfortunately appeared to have suffered a broken neck. A vet was being consulted to confirm this.

How many times do animals and children fall down wells in Thailand? Prevention seems to be a concept totally alien to the Thais.

I wonder if that happened on the way down or the way up?
