This is the amazing scene after a leopard gets its head stuck in a metal pot while searching for water.

The animal was hunting for food near the Indian village of Sardul Kheda in the Rajasthan district of Rajsamand earlier today.

Locals took photographs and videoed the unfortunate beast until someone from the local forestry commission arrived and shot it with a tranquiliser dart.

Locals stood around filming the unfortunate animal as it struggled inside the pot for five hours

The animal's ordeal lasted for approximately five hours before it was eventually freed.

District Forest Officer Kapil Chandrawal told the Indian Tribune: 'The sub-adult panther, aged about 3 years, wiggled a lot and made efforts to get his head out but all attempts failed.

'On receiving information by locals, our team reached the place and shifted him to an enclosure where it was tranquilised and his head was freed. After the leopard is fully recovered, he will be set free in a dense forest area.'

Mr Chandrawal said the animal had probably strayed from a sanctuary area some 20km from the village.
