In Okja, a pig escapes from captivity and goes on a terrifying adventure. Possibly having watched the film and taken inspiration from its plot, a cow in Brazil recently fled its ranch home and went on a slightly less cinematic adventure of its own: getting stuck on a waterslide at a nearby resort.
The cow took off from a cattle ranch 500 miles west of Rio de Janeiro and ended up at a resort called Nova Granada. While there, perhaps in the midst of looking for a deck chair that could support its bovine body, it somehow managed to get up the stairs of a waterslide and then navigate its way down most of it. A video of the cow's ride lets us see exactly what it looks like.
The cow just looks at the top of the slide, clatters its hooves down a clumsy first turn, then stands up and decides the situation is more trouble than it is worth. The cow is stuck in place and the person filming it is wondering how to get it out.
The cow weighed more than 700 and the slide was approved for 450 pounds. The fact that it didn't crash through the slide has made the animal a minor celebrity.
The owner of the ranch that the cow fled from wants to keep it as a pet, but the cow was destined for the slaughter, according to an article posted by Florida's 101.1 WJRR.
