Leopard Rescued From Mysuru Home After Hiding Under Bed

Officials plan to release the animal back into nearby forests after health checks.

Overview

  • Forest teams removed a young male leopard from a Siddhartha Layout home on Friday after it hid under a bed.
  • A Mysuru Zoo veterinarian sedated the cat on a second dart, and the Leopard Task Force secured it in a net.
  • Officials transported the animal to the Chamundi Wild Animals Rescue, Rehabilitation and Conservation Breeding Centre at Koorgalli for observation.
  • Forest officers say it likely wandered from the Chamundi Hill region or nearby patches around Varakodu.
  • No one was hurt, after the daughter-in-law carried her bedridden mother-in-law to safety and shut the room to contain the leopard.
