A full-grown male sambar deer was rescued from a deep well by forest officials in northern India’s Uttarakhand after it unwittingly fell.
The incident took place on July 27 in the Rajaji National Park, Dehradun.
Claustrophobic footage shows the deer stranded inside the narrow walls of a 12-foot-deep well, helpless, unable to escape.
