As the mother of the cub found in Yeoor has not come to take it away, and camera traps have not been able to record any activity of a female leopard in the area, SGNP officials have suspended hopes of a reunion, which also means that the cub might have to spend the rest of his life in a cage. An SGNP official said, "Our team did its best to reunite the cub with its mother but got no success. Currently, the cub is at SGNP where veterinarians are monitoring its health."

Last week as well, the reunion attempt was temporarily suspended as the health of the cub became critical and the forest department had even installed several camera traps in and around the area where the cub was found to see if there was a female leopard trying to locate her cub. They have now called off the plan fearing the cub will fall ill again. This also means that the less than a month old cub might have to spend his life at the Leopard Rescue and Rehabilitation centre at SGNP.
