Hunsur: A five-year-old leopard was found dead after getting caught in a snare laid outside a farm in Survey No. 59 at Muddanahalli village abutting Nagarahole Reserve Forest on Hunsur-Gonikoppa Road yesterday.
The snare was laid near the fence of the farm and the leopard which got caught in the snare tried to free itself in vain. But during its struggle, the snare began to tighten around its lower abdomen and the more it struggled the more the snare tightened around its abdomen killing it. The leopard is suspected to have died on Saturday night or early Sunday morning.
