A prowling
leopard rescued from a well in Guwahati Guwahati:
Residents of Sonaighuli in Guwahati heaved a sigh of relief after a leopard
on prowl had fallen into an open well in their neighbourhood was rescued by the
rangers of the Forest Department on Saturday. They spotted it when they came to
draw water from the well in the morning. The police summoned the forest rangers.
The officials first tranquillised the leopard and then managed to bring it out
from the well. Fortunately, there was not much of water in the well. Instances
of wild animals like leopards and tigers straying into residential areas are not
a new thing. There have been many cases in the past when wildlife officials have
caught animals straying into human habitats. Depleting forest cover and lack of
natural habitat for the animals is one of the major reasons for the wild animals
to stray into residential areas.
