Another woman snapped a cow seemingly enjoying the sunset at South Beach.
There were varied reports where the cows originally came from, but WAtoday understands the the animals fell off a ramp while being loaded onto a cattle ship at Fremantle Ports.
"Awww one ran past at South Beach and onto the bike path toward CY O'Connor, a woman said.
"He was so scared poor little buddy. Thought they might have jumped or escaped prison. How far did it get?"
The Fremantle Sea Rescue posted on its Facebook it was called out after a cow was seen in the water off the Fremantle coast.
"Earlier today, rescue vessel R100 and rescue jet ski TAB1 tasked to the Fremantle Inner Harbour where a cow had entered the water, and was trapped under a jetty," the post read.
"Whilst waiting for a vet to assist rescue teams, the animal again entered the water near the Western Australian Maritime Museum where jet ski TAB1 attempted to guide it to the nearest safe beach. The animal made it way to shore before running on land into the Fremantle Town Centre, where rangers and other agencies eventually gained control of the animal."
