According to rescuers, the reservoir, with canvas on the walls, is approximately five meters deep and was surrounded by canvas. The suspicion is that the animal accessed a point where there was a hole further down while hunting another small animal.

Inside the tank, there was a little water and, after falling, the graxaim was swimming from one side to the other, until it was rescued. The team used dog catching equipment to get him out of the area.

After being removed, he was released close to where he fell, in a eucalyptus reserve.
