It was only the next day that the search resumed: a drone was sent into the pipes, on the other side, to try to scare the animal, so that it turns back, towards the cavity where it was seen for the first time, continues the regional daily. Finally, after long hours, he was able to be out of his trap.

The roe deer, which spent nearly 24 hours underground, was taken care of, and released into the wild, in the Clape massif. According to the newspaper, he probably fell into the stream, before swimming several hundred meters, to the city center.
