The Gard firefighters intervened on Monday for an unusual rescue. They rescued a lama, who had fallen into the bed of a river, from which he could not extricate himself, in Saint-Jean-du-Gard, a town in the Cévennes located about sixty kilometers from Nîmes.
The animal baptized Kuzco, visibly injured after falling from a low wall, was extracted from this predicament using straps.
