Some quick thinking by locals from Pimpalgaon and Junnar Forest division helped save the life of a three-year-old female leopard, which had fallen in a well on Sunday morning.
According to forest department officials, it was early on Sunday when a local farmer Kisan Khandagale alerted them about a leopard that had fallen in the well. Even as the forest officials rushed to the spot they found the leopard frantically swimming in the well.
Knowing that the already scared and traumatised leopard could get exhausted due to continuous paddling in the water and end up drowning, what Forestor Vitthal Thorat did was possibly the only way the leopard could have been saved.
This video also goes on to show why the leopard is a survivor and a fighter who always survives the odd, as well as how continuous training being given by Dr Ajay Deshmukh of Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre and some senior forest officials, have helped locals as well as ground staff of forest department handle such crisis in much organised way.
Check out the video documenting how the leopard was rescued.
