It was an unusual call for
firefighters when a
1,500-pound camel
needed to be rescued,
ITN reports
September 17th, 2010.
The owners of Moses raised the
alarm in Clackamas County in
Oregon City,
after he fell into a sinkhole
6 to 8 feet deep,
and was possibly injured.
The owners,
who have several camels,
had tried to get him out
themselves but failed.
.
Firefighters had to carefully
shovel mud for several hours
to free the animal.
The rescuers were concerned
Moses would break his legs if
he’d try to free himself while
still partially buried.
But Moses was patient,
and eventually firefighters
got him out.
A vet said the
animal looked unhurt.
