WATCH: Spanish police devise novel method to rescue wild boar trapped in Murcia canal

By Tara Rippin • 18 June 2020 • 19:01

Spanish police managed to rescue a wild boar trapped in a canal in Murcia this afternoon, using novel methods.

THE animal had fallen into the Tajo-Segura post-transfer canal, and was unable to get out despite its best efforts.

Officers from Archena Guardia Civil were determined to devise a way to rescue the boar so that it wouldn’t drown, and with the help of a rope, managed to haul it from the water and set it free.

Officers claimed it “wasn’t easy, and the boar had to be convinced” but the drama had a happy ending.
