A water buffalo was rescued after it fell into a four-metre deep well while grazing on grassland.<br /><br />Jan Joksree took out his favourite buffalo named Dok-Khoon into the fields in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand on Wednesday (August 19).<br /><br />The alarmed owner said he started to worry after he went to check on the animal and could not find it anywhere.<br /><br />He said: "I left out my ten buffaloes to graze and used a wire to keep them in the trail but then I noticed that one of the buffaloes went missing.<br /><br />"I walked around the pond near the trail and found her standing in the water at the bottom of the well. She was exhausted and scared down there." <br /><br />Dok-Khoon had wandered away from her normal walking trail and found itself stuck in the confined shaft.<br /><br />The female buffalo was trapped for several hours struggling in the muddy water before she was found by the owner who called the emergency rescuers for help.<br /><br />The rescuers had a hard time pulling the animal so they decided to use a crane to lift the heavy buffalo out of the hole. The process took them nearly three hours.<br /><br />The buffalo had minor injuries from wriggling around inside the concrete well, but she was eventually safely carried up to dry ground.
