Leopard in Bengaluru: Big Cat Takes Shelter Under Bed in Karnataka Home, Rescued After Hours-Long Operation (Watch Video)

An elderly couple in Bengaluru’s Kuntala Reddy Layout had a terrifying experience on Thursday morning when a leopard walked into their home while they were having tea. The couple, Venkatesh and Venkatalakshmamma, initially mistook the animal for a dog but quickly realised it was a leopard when it moved toward the bedroom. Fearing for their safety, they ran out and contacted the police and forest officials. The leopard, which had entered through an open door, was found hiding under the bed. After a careful rescue operation, the animal was tranquilised and safely taken to Bannerghatta Biological Park. The leopard, a healthy six-year-old female, was released into the wild. The area, located 6-7 km from Bannerghatta National Park, has seen frequent leopard sightings. Leopard Stuck in Snare: Karnataka Forest Officials Rescue Big Cat Near Moodbidri (Watch Video)
