The tiger was chasing a wild boar when both fell into a pit and ended up being rescued together. It sounds like a children’s story, but the adventure of these two wild animals really happened and captivated internet users.
According to a report from The New Indian Express, a young tigress hunting a wild boar fell into a hole with her prey, and they both needed to be rescued. The animals were found by villagers who immediately called for help.
The Pench Tiger Reserve in Madhya Pradesh posted images of the rescue operation on Instagram. The video shows the boar and tigress in the water along with a container, placed by the rescuers to help lift them out.
In the images, we see the tiger entering the container first, the rescuers then close the door and, with the help of a crane, the tiger is pulled out of the pit. The boar is saved soon after, and everyone watching the rescue celebrates the success of the operation.
According to Rajnish Kumar Singh, Deputy Director of the reserve, the rescue took 4 hours, and after being rescued and examined, the tigress and the boar were released back into the forest.
