(UPI) Firefighters teamed up with other agencies in Odisha, India, to rescue a leopard that fell into a deep well and was unable to climb back out.

The Odisha Fire Service tweeted video showing the rescue of the leopard in Sambalpur district.

Firefighters and Forest Department officials used a wooden plank tied to a rope as a flotation device to keep the leopard from becoming exhausted in the water. The rescuers then lowered a ladder into the well to allow the feline to climb to safety.

 

Officials said the leopard was not injured and was released back into the wild.
