Somewhere near Mysore....


Forest officials lower a bamboo into a 15-foot deep pond for the leopard to climb up at Hosaholalu village near Mysore on Sunday. However, the rescue operation failed to save the six-year-old leopard. The big cat, having spent the previous night in the pond, was too exhausted to respond to the rescue act. Villagers criticised the ‘unscientific’ rescue methods adopted by forest officials
