Leopard's head freed from cooking pot
A leopard lurched around blindly for five hours in a village in Rajasthan, North India, before wildlife experts tranquilized it and removed a cooking pot from its head.
The 150lb animal got stuck after drinking water from the vessel. Locals took photos and videos as it tried to remove the pot, to no avail.
It was reportedly "none the worse for wear" after being tranquilized and freed, however, according to the BBCthe only loser being the owner of the now-sawn-off pot.
More seriously (and frequently), critters often die after getting their heads stuck in Yoplait snack pots, leading to recurring calls for the company to change the design.
