Wayanad: A leopard, which accidentally fell into a well of a house at Puthiyidam on Friday, was rescued by experts from Muthumala. The animal was tranquilized before pulling out of the well in a net.
The leopard fell into the well of Jose, the owner of the property. He said that when he looked into the well this morning as water was not getting pumped out despite repeated running of the motor.
“We were shocked to see a leopard in our well. It seemed that the animal damaged the water pumps…that’s why we did not get water,” he said.
Though there was a covering net above the well, the animal somehow accidentally fell into it, a senior wildlife official said.
Though the wildlife department tried to bring out the animal using a ladder, they couldn’t and eventually took the help of the Tamil Nadu officials.
