[Tshokwane]

In Sariska, a leopard becomes a tiger’s prey:
In what can be termed as a rare wildlife incident, a tiger in the Sariska Tiger Reserve in Alwar district of Rajasthan attacked and killed a leopard and carried the carcass in its mouth.

Abhimanyu Singh Rajvi, a wildlife enthusiast, who happened to be on a jungle safari in Sariska, witnessed the whole incident and even managed to capture some images.

The images show the beast carrying a leopard carcass in its mouth in Sariska’s Kala Kuan area.

Rajvi said he saw the big cat (ST-3) climbing a tree to catch its prey. When the leopard fell from the tree, ST-3 jumped on it and killed it within a few minutes.
