A clumsy buffalo was rescued after wandering away from his herd and plunging into an abandoned well.<br /><br />Nongnuch Budhsrakaew, 48, left her cattle grazing in a field in Uthai Thani, northeastern Thailand on Wednesday (November 6) morning.<br /><br />She returned at noon and found the male, named Puth, stuck at the bottom of a 16ft-deep well which was only four feet wide.<br /><br />Rescued workers arrived and tied a rope around the heavy animal before filling the well with water, so that it could float safely back to the surface.<br /><br />The owner thanked the team for rescuing her farm animal and said she would fill the well with soil to prevent any more buffalo from falling in.<br /><br />She said: "I usually bring my four cattle here, so they can feed on the grass in the morning then I come back for them at noon. I saw Puth wandering to the mound which there was a well.<br /><br />"I did not see him when I came back but I heard his mooing sound from the mound, I realised that he accidentally fell down to the well because it was covered by weeds.<br /><br />"I am so grateful for the rescuer team for helping as it could have been a tragedy if my buffalo died there in the deep abandoned well. I will filled up the well so no cattle will fall again."
