Watch: Thirsty leopard gets head stuck in metal pot

A leopard searching for a drink got its head stuck in a metal pot after exploring a village in the north of India.

The animal seemed to remain calm as it walked around and tried to get the pot off his head.

Meanwhile, locals in Sardul Kheda, Rajasthan, watched from a distance, some taking photos on their mobile phones.

The town's forest authorities took more than six hours to tranquilise the leopard and set it free, according to local media.
