A bull had to be rescued after falling into a swimming pool

The farm animal had to be hoisted out by a team of firefighters after getting trapped in a watery predicament in Devon.

Rob Cude, group manager at Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, told Sky News: "He did spend quite some time with his nose just below the surface blowing bubbles, which he seemed to enjoy."

He continued: "When they started pumping out the water, he seemed to swim along the pool and investigate the pump.

"All (were) relieved to see him safe and well."

Once the 600kg bull had been lifted from the water and released from his safety harness, he was taken in a cattle trailer to a local farm to recover from his swim.

Cude said: "A really good outcome for one very cold young bullock."
