Wild animals will avoid conflict with humans in a majority of situations. They react only when threatened… Interesting video of a mountain lion watching the runner after getting totally camouflaged to avoid conflict. Via the unexplained

Paw-don me: Los Angeles and Mumbai, India, are the world’s only megacities of 10 million-plus people where large felines breed, hunt and maintain territory within urban boundaries. apne.ws/ISHTDsO

A #CitizenScience project, @MSgnp works with local community members to manage human-leopard conflict and coexistence around Mumbai's Sanjay Gandhi National Park.🧍🐆 A @FAO & @hwctf case study examines the project and the unique situation around it. ▶️fao.org/3/cb8761en/cb8761en.…

Rule book on how not to capture a wild animal!!!
When untrained teams handle wildlife, everybody gets hurt. About time officials are trained, retrained, & trained again in dealing with wild animals in unusual situations. Wonder if the #leopard survived the avoidable daredevilry @ChundawatRaghu @orjan_j @abi_vanak

A 3yr old male #leopard was found dead near Chena in Yeoor Range of #SanjayGandhiNationalPark on Tuesday. G Mallikarjuna, chief conservator of forests said that postmortem suggested blunt trauma probably due to a fall resulting in liver rupture. Further inquiry is in progress

Quite a sight. One day when Pakistan becomes safe - the country will be a definite place to visit.
Have been sent more videos of snow leopards taken this year. MashaAllah the numbers are increasing due to my government's strict policy of protecting them in their natural habitat.
