Kasaragod, March 26: A leopard was found trapped in a cage set in a private rubber plantation in Kolathur in this northernmost district of Kerala on Wednesday. Forest officials set the cage in the area following frequent complaints from the local villagers about the presence of leopards there for some time.
“The leopard was trapped in the cage, set in the rubber plantation owned by Janardhan here on Wednesday morning,” a villager said. In the television visuals, the big cat was seen being a bit aggressive inside the cage. Kerala: Leopard Collides With Biker While Crossing Road in Nadukani Marapalam, Both Injured (Watch Video).
