Lion cub being rescued from well

A video was captured at the Armrapur Village showing a six-hour long rescue mission of a two-year old Asiatic lion cub. The cub had fallen inside a well.

According to NDTV, the cub probably wondered away from its pride and fell into the deep well.

The video shows a rescue worker in a cage being lowered down the well to help the cub.

The cub is seen minutes later hoisted up in the air and is then put in a cage.

Officials told Deccan Chronicle that the cub will only be released back into the wild after it has been examined by a Vet.
