On 4 February, at Pench Tiger Reserve in India, a three-year-old tigress chased after a boar. Ordinarily, this would be an unremarkable event. However, this time, both hunter and prey somehow fell into a deep well, where they were trapped together.

Before long, local villagers observed the animals struggling to stay afloat, and notified the forest department. A rescue team soon arrived!

Using rope, the rescuers lowered a traditional village cot, which the exhausted animals rested on. The team then lowered a big cage, which the tiger willingly entered. As soon as the cage's door slid closed, rescuers used a hydraulic crane to hoist the caged tiger to safety.

Once the tiger was safe, the boar was then rescued as well. Both animals, which were unharmed by the ordeal, have since been released (to different locations).
