One minute this jackal was running and prancing along, and the next she found herself tumbling into a cavernous open well! She desperately treaded water and then managed to scramble onto a small, dry ledge. That’s where Animal Rahat’s rescue team found her.
Before leaving the area, the team spoke with the well’s owner and persuaded him to cover the opening to spare other animals a potentially fatal fall.
The rescuers then brought the sleeping jackal—who was miraculously uninjured—back to their office for a few hours of rest. She eagerly devoured the food and fresh water that they gave her. Then staff from the forestry department joined the team to release her safely back into her home territory. What a story she’ll be able to tell her pups!
