Rescue attempt: A wildlife official wearing a crash helmet for safety throws in a rope and a net to no avail
The beast, who had been languishing in the tank for more than an hour, dully climbed out and disappeared into the forest near the tea estate in Sangatram, north-east India.
A team of foresters from the Sukna Wildlife Squad had earlier tried to pull the leopard out of water with a net.

But the animal refused to let himself be caught. The ladder was a lucky last resort.'
No doubt it made a vow to watch its step in future.
