This thirsty leopard got its head stuck in a metal pot while searching for water in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The big cat struggled to take out the pot and wandered blind with the head stuck in the vessel for about 5 hours.

The locals then called the forest officials for rescue, who were forced to give the leopard some sedatives before the pot was sawed off its head. Finally, the forest officials called for veterinarians to examine its health.

"The male leopard is about three years old. He is being kept under observation. He has been checked by vets and seems to be fine," District Forest Officer of Udaipur range Kapil Sharma said. "He will be released in the forest later. It is difficult to say where he came from because the Kumbhalgarh sanctuary is about 20 kilometres away," he added.

And so after administering some rigid post examination, the leopard was released into the wild.
