In the morning, when a farmer noticed the animals inside the well, the forest department was called.

In a peculiar incident, a leopard and a cat fell into a well in Maharashtra's Nashik. Forest department officials said that the two may have fallen into the well while the big cat was possibly chasing its smaller and distant cousin.

The incident occurred in Ashapur village on the intervening night of 13 and 14 February. While being stuck in the well, the leopard did not hurt the cat. The wild beast was seen perched precariously on a ledge, while the cat swam around.

Officials said that the cat tried a daring manoeuvre by jumping on the leopard's back to escape, but failed. In the morning, when a farmer noticed the animals inside the well, the forest department was called.

The cat was extricated in a basket, while a cage was lowered into the well to bring the leopard out. The wild feline was taken to the Mohdari Malegaon forest park.
