A female leopard while prowling at night(9th July 2016) in the vicinity of Panchayat Bhadurpura, fell into a well. The leopard probably got spooked and in its agitated state plunged into the open well.
Rama Grasiathe on going back to house observed pug marks outside his premises. He then looked straight at the well nearby and spotted the leopard. He immediately informed the village folks. They all came over to view the animal. The police too had been informed. They immediately came to the spot and in turn informed the forest official KG Srivastava.
The DFO immediately informed the wildlife rescue team at Udaipur of the incident. He ordered his men to hold a night vigil at the well and wait the arrival of the rescue team.
The next morning the team with the aid of nets hauled the leopard to the surface. The Female leopard then was injected with a tranquilizer and later transferred to a cage.
The cage was then sent to Mount Abu to see to the well-being of the animal.
I think that tonight they will release the leopard in the vicinity of Gaumukh. I for one am glad that this female has been rescued as the leopard population has fallen in Mount Abu.
I'm posting some snaps of the leopard received via WhatsApp from Charles Guide of Mount Abu.
Thanks Charles appreciate your concern for the well-being of Abu.
