Firefighters in Italy came to the rescue of a wolf found stuck in a support pylon under a bridge on the Milani Canal, near Verona.
The country’s Fire Brigade shared a video on social media showing firefighters working to rescue the wolf stuck under the bridge in San Giovanni Lupatoto with assistance from local police and veterinary staff from the Local Health Authority.
The sedated wolf was held in place with the use of a catch pole while firefighters in an inflatable wolf extracted it from the support pylon.
The wolf was then transported back to shore and taken to the Wild Animal Recovery Center, where it will receive veterinary attention prior to being released back into the wild.
