Large furry animal rescued from freezing pond - Catherine - 03-29-2025
Firefighters in Colorado were called out to rescue a large animal that had fallen through the ice into a freezing pond.
The animal? It turns out it is a Yak. She was also very gentle and cooperative, which made the rescue much easier.

You don't see that every day. Who knew there were yaks in Colorado.
I guess they are from a mountainous part of the world, so Colorado would be like home to them.
Good thing they were able to rescue her so quickly. She is now safely back with her Yak family and all is well.
