A British homeowner was stumped to discover a 1,322lb cow in its pool after the creature escaped from a nearby farm.
The animal had found its way into the back garden before falling into the cold water.
The humungous cow became trapped in the 3ft 11ins deep pool.

The bovine had vanished in the night before a call was made to firefighters at 1 am on 11 Nov, as reported by Need To Know.
The udderly ridiculous rescue mission took place in Coverack, Cornwall.
Rescue crews secured the animal with ropes before using a portable pump to reduce the water level in the pool by 50%.
Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service reportedly said that once the water was low enough, the cow was led to safety.
The animal was left in the care of the farmer.
A spokesperson for Cornwall Council said: “An udderly unexpected call-out for our firefighters.
“A 600kg cow found herself in deep water after wandering into a garden in Coverack and stepping onto a swimming pool cover, which gave way beneath her.
“Firefighters from St Keverne came to the rescue in the early hours of Wednesday morning, carefully lowering the pool water level before leading the cow to safety.
“Thankfully, she was soon back on dry land and in the care of her farmer – hopefully with no plans for another dip any time soon.”
