In what can probably be called the first record of a leopard sighting in the daytime, a leopard cub which may have lost its way or been chased by stray dogs, entered a tabela at Aarey early Tuesday morning. However, alert workers correctly guided the wild cat away following which it vanished into
the trees.

On Tuesday morning, around 7- 7:30, workers milking the animals at the tabela of Farhan Patel unit number 13 in Aarey got the shock of their lives when they saw a leopard cub inside the area. The workers immediately left the area and gathered to one side and soon realised that the animal looked frightened and had taken refuge near the buffaloes. The workers informed the tabela owner who instructed them not to disturb the animal and guide it back to the forest patch.
