Mysore/Mysuru: The Forest Department personnel have reunited three leopard cubs with their mother, thus displaying their concern for wildlife conservation and protection.
The three leopard cubs, born about four to five days ago, were found in the sugarcane field of one Honnappa in Kodanahalli in the taluk on May 17. The villagers had put the cubs in a tray and had informed the Forest Department personnel. Range Forest Officer (RFO) M.K. Devaraju and Deputy Range Forest Officer (DRFO) Malegowda, who rescued the cubs, decided to leave the cubs at the spot as they were just a couple of days old and wait for the mother to take back the cubs. Though there are instances of Forest staff providing foster care to many cubs earlier, the Forest officials decided to reunite the cubs with their mother.
