This is the dramatic moment a leopard was rescued from a well thanks to the ingenuity of some villagers. The animal had fallen in the Panchmahal district, in Gujarat, India, while looking for food on Wednesday night. Thankfully for the leopard, a group of local men heard its cries and, rather than being afraid of it, decided to help. At first the wild animal growled while the villagers were attempting to get a rope around it, but after some persistence they were able to hoist it up. The leopard, which didn’t suffer any injuries, was put in a cage and moved to a location away from the village.
