The forest officials have confirmed that a single leopard has been roaming in the Tirumala forest, saying that the same animal was captured in as many as 50 camera traps.
After the death of a child in a leopard attack early this month, the Forest Department installed 300 camera traps across the Tirumala forest. Around 100 people were assigned the task of installing the camera traps after pilgrims sighted leopards and sloth bears while trekking to the Lord Venkateswara temple in Tirumala.
