THIS IS THE DRAMATIC MOMENT FOREST RANGERS 

AND LOCAL VILLAGERS TEAMED UP

TO RESCUE A LEOPARD THAT HAD FALLEN 30FT INTO A FARM WELL 

WHILE CHASING A PREY IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT

STRANDED FOR 18 HOURS, THE SUB-ADULT LEOPARD 

COULD BE SEEN CLINGING ONTO A WATER PIPE TO STAY AFLOAT

AS THE BIG CAT WAS GETTING EXHAUSTED, THE PIOUS VILLAGERS 

LOWERED A CHARPOY INTO THE WELL TO MAKE A PLATFORM 

FOR THE DISTRESSED ANIMAL TO REST ON 

AFTER GIVING AMPLE TIME TO THE LEOPARD TO CATCH BREATH, 

THE RESCUE TEAM GRADUALLY STARTED PULLING THE COT TO A LEVEL
WHERE THE FOREST RANGERS HAD THE CAGE POSITIONED

THE ANIMAL TOOK THE BAIT AND JUMPED INTO THE OPEN CAGE,

HOPING TO GET A STURDIER AND SAFER PLACE THAN THE CHARPOY

EVEN BEFORE THE ANIMAL COULD UNDERSTAND WHAT HAD HAPPENED, 

THE IRON CAGE TIED TO AN EARTH MOVER WAS PULLED OUT OF THE WELL

THE BEAST WAS SENT TO AN OBSERVATION CENTRE 

BEFORE BEING RELEASED BACK INTO THE WILD
