Mouflons, or wild sheep, are agile and shy creatures. While the male's large, curved horns can make them dangerous in a pinch, they tend to be more elusive than hostile toward humans.
When a Polish jogger stumbled upon this mouflon with his horns trapped on a tree branch, he had to make a snap decision.
Rescuing animals is no small feat, it took an entire team to save this puppy trapped in a well and a pit bull to assist this deer stuck in a fence.
Was the jogger going to put himself in harm's way to help the poor creature, or was he going to allow nature to take its course?
In the video, you'll see that the mouflon is distressed and erratic. It swiftly circles around the tree and jostles its head to break free. The animal is spooked from the presence of the joggers and from the fact that it is stuck.
I have to admit, I don't know what I would do in this situation. We're told so often that wild animals can hurt us, but sometimes our inaction can hurt them.
The solution this jogger found couldn't have been an easy decision. Watch what he does at 1:20 and try not to gasp.
