HYDERABAD: A fresh wave of panic hit residents of Kadthal mandal close to Yacharam as two extra calves which have been half-eaten via a leopard were discovered on Saturday morning.
According to wooded area officers, the villagers discovered both the leopard kills and pugmarks at Cherikonda thanda and Gangumalla thanda, which might be 15 kilometres aside from every different.
Even as the fear over the elusive leopard continues to hang-out a number of villages within the district, the most recent incident raised suspicions a few of the wooded area officers that there might be multiple leopard which is on the prowl.
“The kills are taking place within one cluster which has 4 reserve blocks and is spread across 6,000 hectares. Since two kills were discovered on the identical day in two different thandas, we are suspecting that there might be two leopards in two different jurisdictions,” said M Janakiram, wooded area divisional officer (FDO), Amangal.
“As quickly as we gained data, we requested the variety officers to go away the carcasses in the same position for the reason that leopard will come back for the rest kill. We are hoping that the villagers have not disturbed the carcasses as a result of if the leopard notices that the kill is disturbed, it will not come back to feed on it again,” said Janakiram.
After receiving a number of lawsuits from the villagers about leopard lurking within the space and killing more than 15 animals previously two months, the dept has arrange digital camera traps and cages with baits with a view to seize the animal.
The wooded area officers, who are on their toes to seize the pussycat, also discovered pugmarks close to where where the carcass of the animal was discovered. This was the most recent in a chain of assaults on livestock within the space within the ultimate couple of months.
