A leopardess was captured at Bommanahalli village near Bannur in T. Narsipur taluk in the early hours of Sunday.
The Forest Department had placed a cage with a bait to trap the animal after receiving complaints of attack on cattle and livestock lifting at Bommanahalli in the taluk.
The animal was trapped in the cage and on examination it turned out to be a leopardess who was injured and also old and unable to hunt. Hence it was preying on livestock and domestic cattle, said Dr. Basavaraju, Deputy Conservator of Forests, Mysuru.
