Leopard rescued after falling into a well

The fully grown female big cat was prowling for food near the Sonaigali village in Guwahati city, northeast India, when she tumbled into the well.



Residents of the village were shocked to find the trapped animal when they made their morning trek to draw water from the well. They notified the local police, who summoned forest rangers to tackle the angry cat.



The rangers tranquilized the leopard before veterinarian Bijoy Gogoi gently carried the creature out of the well. The leopard was taken to the local zoo.
