Leopard injures 15 in unprovoked rampage in India
“Many of the injured were bitten and needed hospitalization but they seem to be out of danger now.”
The animal was successfully tranquilized last Thursday following a two-day search. It will undergo further examination before being released into Kaziranga National Park. Leopards typically do not attack humans without provocation, officials explained to The Telegraph. While it is unknown what precipitated the Jorhat rampage, it is believed that the animal escaped the nearby Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary in search of food.All the injured townspeople are expected to make full recoveries.Big cat attacks have unfortunately become more common in India, as the growing population and need for housing and infrastructure encroaches on forested areas.
“Crazy! Never seen this on video where men caught a leopard with bare hands!!!! Brave,” one commenter gushed at the time. In 2021 alone, 500 people and 100 elephants were killed in human-animal conflicts. India’s Minister of Environment Bhupendra Yadav blamed the fatalities on “competition for resources.”
