2 lionesses fall into well, 1 dead

Two lionesses fell into an open well while chasing a nilgai near Dhari town close to the Gir (east) forest in Gujarat's Amreli district Saturday. While one died, foresters managed to rescue the other feline.
The lionesses belonged to a group of lions that made their habitat on the outskirts of Dhari. "We got a message about the lionesses early morning.On reaching the site, we found hoof marks of the nilgai," said Rajdeepsinh Jhala, deputy conservator of forest, Gir (east) forest division. A cot tied with a rope was lowered into the well to rescue the lioness.
