ADILABAD: Forest and fire services personnel rescued a wild bear that fell into an open agricultural well on the outskirts of Sakera village, Adilabad district, early on Saturday.
Villagers found the animal struggling in the 30-foot-deep well and alerted authorities. Rescuers first lowered a wooden cot, hoping the bear would climb aboard so it could be hoisted out. When that failed, firefighters dropped a metal ladder into the pit. After several tense minutes, the bear used the ladder to scramble up, where an earth-moving machine cleared a path for its retreat into nearby forest.
No injuries were reported.( Source : Deccan Chronicle )
