Warsaw- Among deportations of illegal aliens, it is an unusual case to say the least. Poland on Thursday began deporting a herd of illegal alien cows that cleverly breached the European Union's eastern frontier by swimming the Bug river from Belarus to Poland.

"These are young animals, calves from 14-18 months old," state veterinarian for Poland's Biala Podlaska district Radomir Banko told the Polish PAP news agency.

"They're in good shape and on Thursday will be trucked across the border and given back to their owners," he said. The runaway herd numbered 240 cows.

It remained a mystery why the cows decided to swim across the broad and dangerous Bug river from Belarus to Poland on Sunday afternoon.

Polish border guards and veterinary officials had tried, but failed, to persuade the animals to swim back home.
