velu Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Leopards of Mumbai An estimated 35 to 41 leopards live in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park, on the outskirts of Mumbai. Photographs of the beautiful animals against the backdrop of the bright lights of India’s most populated city are jaw-dropping but belie ? current leopard-human tensions. As much as people complain about foxes and raccoons in their urban backyards in other areas of the world, leopards can actually attack and cause fatal injuries to humans. As leopard habitats shrink and they move into the cities to survive, some communities are afraid to leave their houses. Children in affected areas must walk around in groups of six or more. However, a recent study suggested that the leopards may be protecting their human neighbours from rabies. Around 40 per cent of the leopards’ diet is feral dogs, which is the main source of the deadly virus. stay safe bambis The Dark Horse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leopards of Mumbai suffered a crisis in the early 2000s. They attacked people, killing children and mauling adults. After a lawyer was killed, his colleagues circulated a petition demanding the removal of every leopard from the city. https://scroll.in/article/739490/how-leopards-came-to-live-peacefully-with-mumbais-residents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
