A CLUMSY sheep has become a real life ”ram-bo” after inadvertently abseiling down a hill when its horn became snagged on an electricity wire.

The unfortunate animal was spotted bleating for help more than 5 metres above the ground next to a power pole in the small Nowegian town of Helgoysund, The Daily Mail reports.

 

Amazed onlookers watched the ram descend from a grazing pasture – apparently accidentally – while dangling from a live wire.

Tourists at the scene mounted a rescue attempt and eventually roped him to pull him back to ground level in little over an hour.

Bemused spectators suggested he may have been trying to take the fast route down to a herd of ewes grazing in the field below.

Geir Landsnes, 45, who watched the dramatic events unfold said: ”As a reward for his embarrassing predicament we helped him to achieve his quest by allowing him access to the ladies.

The ram was unharmed.
