May 22 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Idaho had to pry apart the metal bars of a fence to rescue a beaver that somehow got stuck in the barrier.

The Eagle Fire Department posted photos to Twitter from the rescue of the unlucky beaver, which was stuck with the middle of its body wedged between the metal bars.

The photos show firefighters using tools to pry the bars apart and allow the beaver to finish crossing to the other side.

The beaver, apparently uninjured, hung around long enough to pose for photos before wandering away.
