Some photos are so powerful that they leave a lasting impression on you. On Thursday, an adult leopard fell into a well at Madhab Nagar in Garbhanga Reserve Forest on the outskirts of Guwahati. The leopard was rescued by forest personnel but a picture of it refuses to fade away.

As per an official release by the Assam government, the leopard fell into a 20-feet open well in the wee hours and got trapped inside and tried desperately to keep afloat. Villagers were startled on hearing the roars echoing from deep within an open well. It turned out that a leopard was struggling to stay afloat in the waist-deep water and the effort had seemingly left it exhausted.
