A female tiger that fell into an open well at Eucaly Kavala near Meenangadi was rescued after a three-hour operation on Wednesday. The tiger, aged around two years, fell into the 10-ft-deep well of Saseendran of Kakkanatil on Tuesday night. Officials of the South Wayanad Forest Division rescued it with a net.
