And you thought jelly fish were a hassle!
The bull was grazing in his field when he became spooked by the noise from a nearby music festival.
His owner/farmer decided to move the frightened bullock to another field but he managed to escape and ran over the edge of a cliff.
The bull survived the 15ft fall onto rocks and scrambled towards the sea – where he began swimming out into the Atlantic. (not the smartest animals, huh?)
He paddled up to half a mile for 45 minutes into the deep waters – past stunned surfers who could not believe their eyes.
After 45 minutes the coastguard and RNLI were called and managed to coax the beast back to shore in front of bemused revellers at the Goldcoast Oceanfest.
