Firefighters Save Trapped Wolf From Canal
Italian firefighters rescued a wolf that had become trapped in a canal in an aptly named town near Verona. Passersby spotted the animal stuck under a bridge in San Giovanni Lupatoto—which translates to “St. John of the Wolves”—and alerted authorities, prompting a coordinated response, ANSA reports. Firefighters worked alongside provincial police and veterinarians from the ULSS 9 Prevention Department to safely free the wolf, officials said.
The wolf was sedated and secured with a catch pole while firefighters used an inflatable boat to lift it from the canal, UPI reports. The fire brigade shared video of the rescue. After being freed, the animal was handed over to provincial police and transported to the Wild Animal Recovery Center. The young female wolf is expected to remain there briefly for observation and care before being released back into the wild, Euronews reports.
