Bruce the bull and other animals that got stuck

Bruce the bull with some of the rescue team who helped him

Just how do you save a bull that's stuck in a bog?

Well, that's the question that firefighters in Brecon had to come up with an answer for.

Bruce, who weighs a whopping 800 kilograms, got stuck up to his chest, and it took a team of firefighters, two vehicles, an animal rescue team, some vets, his owners and neighbours to get him out!

Don't worry though - after a two-and-a-half-hour rescue, he had a long walk and was happily eating in his field a few hours later.

Read on for more animals that have found themselves in a bit of a sticky situation.

This bird somehow got stuck in a grate

Not all of the animals in this list are as big as Bruce, but that doesn't mean the rescue is any less tricky.

This starling was found stuck in a manhole cover in Downham Market, Norfolk.

With the help of the RSPCA and fire and rescue, the drain cover was lifted and the small bird was rescued.

The starling had to be checked over before it could be released back into the wild.

The RSPCA still have no idea how it managed to get into the drain cover in the first place.

That is one big cat stuck up a tree...

This mountain lion was rescued by firefighters after getting stuck up a tree in California in the US.

The big cat was spotted perched on a branch 15 metres up in the air.

To keep both the crew and the lion safe, fire crews had to give it some medicine to make it sleepy and then lowered it down with a harness before releasing it back into the wild.

A game of peekaboo gone wrong?

This raccoon got into a spot of bother when it got its head stuck in this grate.

Firefighters spent two hours getting the animal free.

The fire department said the raccoon was doing well following the dramatic rescue - so it was far from a case of time being wasted down the drain.

Daisy needed help after mountain climbing

A St Bernard dog was rescued after collapsing while walking down England's highest mountain.

Members of the Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) went to four-year-old Daisy's aid on Scafell Pike.

The mountain is in the Lake District and stands at 978 metres tall.

The rescuers said she didn't start to struggle, which made carrying her down the mountain much easier.
