After some reports of the 'usual' leopard found fallen in a well, here's one about a stripped hyena this time, that fell into a well near Otur near Pune. Due to the alertness shown by local people trained by the NGO Wildlife SOS and the Maharashtra Forest Department, the stripped hyena was rescued and released back into its natural habitat.

The hyena was discovered by local farmers in Ane village on Tuesday morning and they immediately alerted the Maharashtra Forest Department. A four-member rescue team operating out of the Wildlife SOS-run Leopard Rescue Centre in Junnar was also dispatched to the location to assist the forest officers.
