The incident ended up going viral when the cow broke into the Indaia Club de Campo water park, headed for one of the pools and then decided to make a break for freedom down a water slide.

Footage shows the intrepid bovine having some difficulty keeping its balance as it descended the slide. The owners had turned off the water to make it less slippery for the animal.

Fortunately there weren't many people around, so the cow wasn't too spooked.A member of staff was ultimately able to get a rope around the cow and lead it to safety.

The story even has a happy ending, because the staff at the cattle ranch from which the cow had escaped decided to spare its life and it now lives out its days as a visitor attraction.

"I looked to see if he had any injuries, but he's fine. He'll stay here because of the people," said owner Carlos Miguel Serante. "The people want to know where he is."

"He's been the attraction. Everyone wants to know. We want to take him to the club."
