Forest Department officials Ramasubramanian, Prabhu and Saktivel, and Animal Husbandry doctors Sadasivam and Satish Kumar saved an injured leopard in the reserve forest in Kanniwadi, and released it into Anamalai Reserve Forest on Thursday.
Following information that a leopard was lying unconscious at a spot, the team of officials rushed there and treated the animal. They said the four-year-old male leopard looked weak and tired. The officials said due to water scarcity and sudden rise in temperature inside the forest, animal movement was likely to escalate. They appealed to the people to be guarded during this period.
