Leopards Rescued From Tea Estates and Released into Wild

Two leopards were found in tea estates.

One was found at Kalabari tea estate in Jalpaiguri and another at the Garganda tea estate in Alipurduar.

Local residents spotted the leopards and informed foresters.

The foresters set up cages.

Both leopards were captured in cages.

The first leopard was taken away by the Binnaguri forest range and released into the Gorumara National Park.

The second was also rescued and released back into the wild.

Foresters suspect the leopards were searching for food.

The trapping was done after a previous incident where a leopard killed a child.
