Wild Leopard City Center hurts people to escape

The Indian Stan Times reported that on August 5, a construction worker was injured by a leopard attack in the center of the city center of Bell Gogh, India, and the area has been in a high degree of alertness since then.

Since the authorities have not caught this leopard, at least 22 schools and small companies in the local area have been closed for nearly a month.

After the incident, the injured leopard was discovered many times around a golf course in the city, which further triggered the panic of residents.

Subsequently, the local forest department recruited more than 300 people, including veterinarians, magic gunmen and anesthesiologists, trying to capture this leopard as soon as possible.

Where does this injured leopard come from? According to data released by the Indian government, Karnatakn, where Bell Gum is located, has a vast forest and several wildlife reserves, with 1,783 leopards, ranking second in the country. These leopards often appear in major cities in Kanatacbon.

Anthony S Mariappa, an official in charge of this operation, introduced this operation. This is the first time that leopards have been discovered in Bell Gogim, and people are very panicked.

Two elephants have also joined the search team

According to the BBC, the Bell Gaom City department set up about 20 cameras near the leopard golf course to track the leopard. These cameras have cameras with infrared sensors, and when they feel moving objects, they will automatically take photos. At the same time, the arrest staff also placed ten metal cages in the area, with puppies and pigs in the cage. They tried to use this as a bait to lure leopards.

Considering that this is a male leopard, the arrested staff also tried the "sexual attraction" method. They painted the feces and urine left by a female leopard on the cage when they were in estrus, hoping to seduce the leopard inside.

The leopard that was caught

Relevant staff added that more than 300 people's search teams have searched 3 times in the 300 hectares near the golf course. They planned to fire the sedative darts to the leopard by the god gunner, and then captured it and transferred it to the nature reserve.

"We also hired two well -trained elephants, because the leopard was more likely to discover from a high place." The staff said that they also used a drone to fly over the area from the sky and try to discover this leopard. Essence

Why hasn't the leopard be caught yet

According to the BBC report, since the establishment of the capture team, the leopard has been photographed twice by the camera, but it has escaped before being caught.

The arrest personnel explained that this has a certain relationship with local weather. After all, rainfall will reduce visibility and form a number of water bodies in a small area, which will make it difficult for the search staff to set traps.

According to the "Indian Stan Times" report, after searching for leopard for a few weeks, local time on Sunday, a group of women from Congress "tried" into the golf course area to "capture" wild animals to laugh at the government and the arrest team members failed to fail Grasp the leopard. Netizens also criticized the authorities on social media. While mocking the authorities, some users also shared posts, saying that Leopard was the "resident" of the city. Create a fake bank account.

The cage placed by the arrested personnel

Sanjay Gubbi, a wild animal biologist who has studied leopard for more than ten years, said that the authorities and the public want to work quickly and under tremendous pressure. The arrests are forced to try new experiments every day. But to catch a leopard, these artificial interventions are often counterproductive.

Sanjay Gubbi analyzed that the personality of the leopard is more "shy", and they are more likely to appear and move in a calm state. Launching large -scale arrests may not be the most effective way. In addition, there are a lot of prey in the area, so Leopard is not interested in the setting bait.

According to the Indian Express report on September 1, in the past six months, more than 30 people in the country were injured by leopard attacks.

Sanjay Gubbi reminded that catching a leopard cannot solve the problem. "We need to let people understand the leopard and its behavior more, which helps to establish tolerance and acceptance, so that people and leopards can coexist in a safer and peaceful way."
