Leopard Captured in Wayanad: Relief for Kalloor Villagers

Wayanad, Kerala: A leopard that had been causing distress among the residents of the forest-fringe village of Kalloor has been successfully captured in a cage set by wildlife authorities early Tuesday. Villagers breathed a collective sigh of relief as forest officials promptly responded and reached the location upon being notified of the leopard's capture.

The leopard had been a source of concern for some days, reportedly sighted in Cheeral and Nambiarkunnu, areas situated along the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border. Residents complained that the leopard was behind a spate of domestic animal killings recently. The situation escalated after a video emerged, showing a leopard walking along a local road, adding to the villagers' anxiety.

Following the capture, wildlife authorities have transported the leopard to the animal care centre in Kuppadi, Bathery. This successful operation has brought much-needed reassurance to the community.
