A leopard was rescued by a group of villagers after it fell down and got stuck in a well in India.

Awesome World reported on their YouTube channel that locals to the area and forest officials helped with the rescue of the animal that was estimated to be around two-to-three-years-old.

The leopard was believed to have mistakenly jumped into the well in the dark and had spent some part-submerged in the water.

In the clip, the villagers can be seen standing around the large well and devising a plan.

They spread a net out over the top of the opening and move a cage into position nearby.

After this a makeshift ladder is lowered into the pit and moved towards the leopard, who nervously clutches onto the side of the wall.
It is believed that the leopard fell into the well when it was dark and was unable to climb back out

Locals then set about attempting to move the leopard from its position and one man pours water on it from above.

The plan works and the leopard jumps into the well and swims in a circle before returning to its original position on the wall.

It then runs at the ladder and climbs it to the top, before the villagers usher it into the cage – they cheers as the leopard moves inside.

According to Awesome World, who commented on the video posted to YouTube, the leopard was taken to the nearby RFO Depot, where it was checked for injury.

It was then released back to the Kudremukh forest.
