Sometime on Thursday night, a young, wild sloth bear slipped into a 35-foot deep well in Belgumba, a village near Magadi. Villagers found it trapped in about three-feet of water at the bottom of the well at about 3 am on Friday and the next 22 hours were as trying for the badly-frightened bear as they were for the villagers. Wildlife volunteers from the civic agency needed all their patience and ingenuity to get the animal out.

The bigger task for wildlife rescuers was to get an irate mob of villagers out of the way. From the time the bear was spotted, villagers began gathering around the well. But the well being deep and with the bear agitated, the villagers could do little. Forest sleuths were then called, but by the time they arrived on the scene, the villagers had turned into an angry, agitated mob.

Villagers were pelting the bear with stones and rocks and the forest sleuths, outnumbered by the villagers, were quickly muscled out of the way. The villagers demanded that the bear be tranquillised, but the sleuths had no room to operate.
