There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Surprised there is no man-eating Leopards here.

Anyway, a female Leopard who killed 5 people was captured.

"Sources said that the female leopard, around two-and-a-half years old, got attracted to the bait and walked into the cage installed at the farm where it had killed a woman on Friday.


Foresters monitoring the cage discovered the leopard in the morning and sent it to Transit Treatment Centre (TTC) at Chandrapur immediately.

Gajendra Narwane, deputy director of TATR (buffer), said that the captured beast was examined for injuries at TTC and was declared fit. “However, there is no possibility of releasing the animal back into the wild,” he said.

Forester will now compare the camera trap photos taken at Arjuni and Ramdegi to confirm that the same animal was responsible for human kills at both the places.

It’s latest kill at Arjuni had sparked tension in the area with the villagers keeping forest officers away from the dead body demanding immediate capture of the problem animal.


The beast is suspected to have killed five people in the last five weeks. The leopard attacks were particularly concentrated at Arjuni village and Ramdegi forest, located 8km apart.



The victims



Nov four: Tulsi Kedar, a local of Arjuni village, is attacked when she was returning house after providing prayers at a temple



Dec four: Devrao Jeevtode, also from Arjuni village, is mauled while running in his farm




Dec 10: The animal pounces on Sandeep Titre, a grocery shopkeeper from Ramdegi, when he ventured into the forest to wait nature’s name




Dec 11: Rahul Bodhi, a Buddhist monk from the similar spaces, was killed when he was meditating under a tree




Dec 14: Nirmala Shrirame (48) is attacked by way of the animal round 12 noon when she was running in the farm together with other labourers"
