A young leopard found itself in a deep trouble, after it fell down a well in northeast India.

The poor animal was discovered trapped in the pit at Kamakhya temple in Guwahati, India.

Forest officials, temple staff and volunteers all rallied around the narrow well to save the leopard and bring it back to the surface.

According to locals, the leopard had been scouring for food at the temple fell down the narrow well.

Forest officials were called to the scene where they were forced to tranquilize the animal before climbing a ladder and going down the pit.

They tied a rope around the groggy leopard and it was successfully pulled out of the hole.

Trapped: The leopard stares into the light from the well as forest officials get ready to tranquilize it

The Indian leopard is smaller than its African relative, with the Indian leopard normally between 4ft 2in and 4ft 8in long, compared to the sub-Saharan leopard, which can grow to be 5ft 4in long.

The leopard can be found across the Indian subcontinent, but as it is under threat from poachers and habitat loss is rarely found outside protected areas.

It is currently classified as ‘Near Threatened’ by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) but as a result of the downward population trend it may soon qualify for a ‘Vulnerable‘ status.
