After capturing the leopard cub, the villagers informed the local forest department, prompting officials to rush to the spot and transport the animal to the Dhaurahra range headquarters.<\/p>\n
Dudhwa buffer zone deputy director Naveen Khandelwal said the rescued leopard was placed under medical observation by veterinary experts, as it appeared to be somewhat unwell.<\/p>\n
He said further action will be taken after the proper medical examination of the cub.<\/p>\n
According to reports, the villagers were working in their fields when they spotted a female leopard with two cubs. To drive the big cat away, they created a loud noise, after which the mother leopard and one of the cubs fled into a nearby sugarcane field.<\/p>\n
However, the other cub, which appeared to be unwell, was unable to follow its mother and remained lying in the fields.<\/p>\n
