Mysore/Mysuru: In the last three years, 65 leopards have been captured/rescued in Mysuru district, including three in January 2023.
“We have implanted a microchip on the leopards that were caught last month after making a ‘V’ shape cut on its ear tip and have released them back into the wild. We are tracking their movements to ascertain if the felines have come back to haunt human habitats,” revealed Deputy Conservator of Forests (DCF) Mysuru Circle Dr. K.N. Basavaraju (in pic.). At present, there are 20 cages under the disposal of the Forest Department and 30 more cages will be purchased, he added.
