Bantwal, Jul 26: A leopard was accidentally caught in a trap meant for wild boars, in the forest land owned by Vasudev Gowda, at Talithottu, near Vagga, in Kavalapadoor village, here on Thursday, July 24.
Gowda had successfully trapped a wild boar last Saturday night, which inspired him to try his luck again this week. However, when he reached the spot on Friday, July 25, early in the morning, he was surprised to find an uninvited guest trapped in the net.
The locals gathered at the spot while someone conveyed the news to the forest department in Mangalore range. The foresters, including conservators, arrived at the spot with a cage and managed to transfer the leopard from the trap to the cage. The leopard was then driven to the wild life sanctuary at Pilikula.
