Sad story and sad to hear that their only option was to put the animal down. Why not relocate the animal or put in in an enclosure? 

In Kenya, a well known male leopard from Nairobi National Park also caused trouble for some reason despite being him the biggest/dominant male in the park. They captured him and apparently released him in another park (Tsavo National Park) WITH a collar.

It was within the Kruger national park apparently, he kept coming to the human areas of the park around skukuza.

Struggling to find more info, nobody has a clear answer on whether he was actually euthanised, and the leopard isn't being sighted either Reply
