Watch the dramatic rescue of a big cat by Gir frontline staff
It takes all kinds to make the world. While some people are disdainful of animals around them, there are others who would risk their life to save any animal.
A Gir frontline staff member threw caution to the winds to rescue a leopard that had strayed into a village and gone inside a big drain. Left with no options, the leopard had to be tranquilised with a dart from a distance, and then, a forest personnel crawled inside the drain to bring the leopard out. A fine example of true heroism!
Indian Forest Service officer Dr. Anshuman Sharma posted the rescue video on X, praising the selflessness of the Gir staff.
