No Animal
When no animals tried to escape from the sewer, the team knew that they were dealing with much smaller animals. They were able to approach the entry to the sewer and get a better look at what they were dealing with. Hearing the small sounds of the animals assured the team that they were in fact dealing with animals that were very young. They could barely see the creatures at the bottom, but they knew that they were there.
Animal Predictions
Based on the location of the animals, the firefighters were totally perplexed as to what kind of animal they were dealing with. It didn’t make sense that this would be a domestic animal; cats and dogs rarely gave birth in locations like this, and they normally wouldn’t stray so far away. Additionally, a domesticated animal would have been very distraught about their babies being stuck in a sewer. They’d likely be hanging around, and even trying to get help from humans!
