On Monday in Estes Park, Colorado, a large bull elk took a dip in a family's swimming pool, but couldn't get out due to its legs getting stuck in the pool's tarp. Wildlife officers eventually lassoed one of its antlers and hoisted it out, at which point the elk got up and ambled off.
UPI reports that the rope was not knotted to the animal's antlers, so it should fall off on its own.
