This is the moment an adventurous cow left locals baffled when it got stuck on the roof of a building in Inner Mongolia.

Footage, posted on YouTube on December 28, shows the cow's bemused owner and other bystanders trying to work out how to get the cow down from the building in Tongliao.

The animal had climbed up a pile of snow that had formed a ramp onto the roof. But it then melted as quickly as it had come on Christmas Day, leaving the cow stranded.

The snowfall had been extremely deep in city, in the east of the Chinese region of Inner Mongolia, and it had been shovelled against the building to clear the road.

The curious cow could not resist clambering up the snow ramp but once there, it refused to come down and remained stuck when the snow quickly melted.

At one point, the owner of the stocky animal drove a forklift over in an attempt to bring the cow down. 

However the surefooted bovine ran away onto neighbouring roofs to keep out of reach.

Even when several people turned up to try to catch it, it kept running out of the way, smashing the tiles, which can be seen crashing onto the ground.

The property owners were less than impressed with the cow's antics, and after failing to drive it towards the forklift, they also tried to catch it by offering it hay.

In the end, they gave up and the cow solved the problem itself when it went to the lowest point on the roof and successfully jumped to the ground, apparently without injuring itself.
