Even as a second leopard, a male, walked into the cage in Unit 15 early on Sunday, SGNP rescue team and Aarey locals reported seeing another big cat lurking around the same area throughout the day. Sources said that this wild cat could be a female.

“After a leopard was trapped and taken to the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) on Sunday morning, the sighting of another leopard continued in the area in broad daylight,” said a resident not willing to be named.
