July 31, 2010 | Injured female leopard dies in Uttarakhand's famous Corbett Park | Ramnagar (Uttarakhand): A three-year old injured female leopard, which was rescued by the forest staff of the Bailpadav Range, has died in Ramnagar, Uttarakhand. Villagers found the leopard lying in an injured state and informed forest rangers. The animal was taken to Bailpadav
where veterinary doctors from Jim Corbett Park treated it. Efforts to save the
animal went in vain, as the animal was too weak. It was suspected that the leopard
had not eaten for a couple of days. "We rescued a leopard and while bringing it
to the Range Office it died on the way. The first reason of death it is speculated
either a tiger or some other big animal must have injured it and it died due to
the injuries. And the leopard was also very weak and it seems the animal had not
eaten anything for many days," said P C Arya, Sub Divisional Officer (SDO) of
Tarai Wild Forest Division, Ramnagar. Arya said the wounds on its body indicated
that the leopard was attacked by a tiger either while stealing the animal's prey
or for entering its territory. The Bailpadav Range near Ramanagar skirts the famed
Jim Corbett National Park. |
