The non-governmental organisation (NGO) Wildlife SOS, in collaboration with the Maharashtra Forest Department, has rescued an approximately six-month-old female golden jackal who had fallen into a 40-foot-deep open well in Sukalvedhe village, located in the Junnar range of Maharashtra. 

The jackal, trapped at the bottom of the 40-foot-deep well, was discovered on Friday by local residents of Sukalvedhe village. Responding quickly, the forest department alerted Wildlife SOS at the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Centre (MLRC). A two-member rescue team was immediately sent to the site.
