Mangaluru: The carcass of a six-month-old leopard cub was found inside 100 metres of the Panchayat Road at Padantaje in the safe forest here on the evening of March 25.
The carcass was found while the Forest Department personnel were patrolling and postmortem was done as per the Department’s rules and buried.
It is suspected that the leopard cub may have died due to lack of food and water due to a fire that broke out in the forest, recently. Gram Panchayat President Ratheesh Gowda, Members, Department Officers and Villagers cooperated.
