Summary:
District Forest Officer, Kanhiya Patel, said, “The leopard cub caught by the farmers was taken into the custody of the forest officials. Angry villagers blocked a road putting the leopard’s cub in the middle of the road. A large number of leopards have strayed out of the forest and made the adjacent sugarcane fields their home. Big cats, including tigers and leopards, tend to stray out to open areas, thereby, increasing the possibility of them coming in contact with humans. The cub is healthy but is not in-taking food due to the stress..
