Hot cow dives into pool

A cow clambered into a neighbour's garden and jumped in a swimming pool during a heatwave in Brazil.

With temperatures approaching 40C, the cow got over a fence and went straight to the pool of the home in Taubate.

The owner of the house told SPTV: “I heard a noise and came to check what was going on when I saw the most absurd thing in the world, a cow in the swimming pool!”

The woman called the fire fighters to help get the animal out of the pool.

A spokesman for the fire brigade said: "It was the first job of this kind in the 20 years I’ve been here, it was really quirky!"
