Forest officials were alerted about the leopard, which fell into the well on Thursday (July 23). They lowered a cage into the well to bring the big cat out.

The leopard managed to enter the cage, which was then shut and pulled out of the water.

India's leopards are under threat, with an increasing number of them being poached for their hide and body parts.

Depletion of their habitat has also threatened the leopards, forcing them to stray into human settlements -- attacking people and livestock cattle -- and often getting killed in return.
