No word on how long the leopard had been swimming to stay afloat.

Rescuers first lowered a ladder for her to sit on and keep her from drowning, then they lowered a crate and the leopard jumped in.

She was safely rescued and taken to a Leopard Rescue Center to recuperate from the ordeal, said Wildlife S.O.S.
