LONDON -- What is it with animals constantly getting their heads stuck in things?
There was that cow that got its head stuck in a garden chair not so long ago, and then just the other day there was the greedy NYC pigeon photographed wearing a bagel it had been attempting to dine on.
But forget about those two, because now there's a new contender for year's doziest animal on the scene: Billy the bull.

Billy managed to get his head wedged in a tree in a field in Rugby, England, on Monday, resulting in Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service having to break out a winch in order to free him.
At this stage it's unclear how -- or why -- Billy got his head stuck in the first place, but bulls don't need to explain themselves. We can only assume there was something interesting in the trunk that caught his attention.

Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service said they were able to free Billy quickly and didn't need to use a sedative.
The bull was said to be "none the worse for wear" after being rescued. He's now back to roaming his field, where we can only assume he's resumed his duties as resident tree investigator.
