A team of rescuers on Saturday (February 15th) used ropes to haul a leopard from the bottom of a deep well.

The big cat fell into the water source in the Pavijetpur region of Gujarat state and was unable to climb out.

Rescuers from the forest department managed to place a looped rope around the feline and then lift it out of the well and into a metal cage.

The big cat was due to be checked over and released back into the wild.
