This bull definitely showed its bullheadedness to survive.
Earlier last month in New Zealand, the South Island area was hit by the worst flash flood in 80 years. Tony Peacock’s farm was no exception. The massive dump of water caught him by surprise and he had no time to relocate his stock to a higher ground. And just like that, Peacock realized that his bulls were gone.
He never thought he’d see them again until one week later, he got a call notifying him that one of his bulls had been found on the riverbank at Westport, some 80 kilometers away. The bull had apparently somehow survived a 10-meter drop at the Maruia Falls. When he was found, his ear tag helped identify him.
Now the bull is back home with Peacock, who said he is retiring him and giving him a name.
