A very strange animal has been rescued from a dry well in Bihar’s Muzaffarpur. Crowds of people flocked to catch a glimpse of this leopard-cat-like creature. The forest department was immediately informed about this. The team reached the spot and rescued the animal. Then they took him safely to the forest and left him there.
This strange creature was spotted near Ramachandra Chowk in Kudhani block. The forest department said the animal resembles a leopard and a cat. It is called Small Indian Civet. It certainly looks awful. But his nature is very calm. It doesn’t hurt anyone. Not fatally assaulting anyone.
Veterinary Officer Dr. Rajeev Ranjan said – this animal is active in the evening. It lives around us. Scared at the sight of humans. Easily climbs trees or buildings. It is not possible to catch him in the open field. He was scared as he fell into the well. The mob was told to disperse. We create awareness among people that this animal is your friend. Don’t be afraid of this. Wild animals live away from the city. People are definitely curious after seeing an invisible animal. But there is absolutely no need to be afraid of this kind of animal.
