Leopards In The Sanjay Gandhi National Park

A frightening video of a big leopard roaming freely inside a Mumbai housing society in the early hours on Friday has emerged online. It shows the animal moving around the parking area in complete silence as a milkman heads towards it.

The forest department on Thursday caught a leopard, which had entered a residential area at Seepz in the western suburb of Andheri, an official said.

For a moment, there was authentic leopard print on display at an mall.

Surveillance video showed the leopard pacing through the empty mall before shuffling through the parking lot about 5:30 a.m.

The number of leopards in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Mumbai has increased to 41, up from 35 in 2015, a report submitted to the Forest Department said.

The fact that we share our space with leopards comes as no surprise for the residents of Teakwood Cooperative Housing Society in Mulund West.

Imagine catching a glimpse of a rusty-spotted cat, the world's smallest wild cat, herds of Spotted Deer shying away from your gaze or a black-naped hare outrunning a predator. Macaques swinging from one tree to another. Spotting a Leopard or shuddering as a Bamboo Pit Viper slithers across your foot?

An assistant who had gone to open the metallurgy lab at the IIT-Bombay campus got the shock of his life last morning when he saw a leopard hiding behind a generator. Scared to death, the assistant still had the presence of mind to down the shutter behind him before rushing off to inform the college authorities.

The man-animal conflict in and around the areas of the Sanjay Gandhi National Park in Borivali yesterday claimed one more life.

A four-year-old girl was killed and an 11-year-old boy injured in two separate incidents of leopard attacks in Mumbai on Tuesday. Both incidents took place in Aarey colony, a forest area in Goregaon, a western suburb of Mumbai. The area lies on the periphery of Sanjay Gandhi National Park

In another instance of human-animal conflict, a six-year-old girl living with her parents in the Shankar Tekdi area of Mulund (West) was killed and partially devoured by a leopard late on Sunday night.
