A leopard that ran into a house and sparked a frantic search in southern India has been caught and tranquilised.
The big cat emerged from the Kamdanam forest and ran into a house in Shadnagar town in Telangana state, said Dr Mohammad Abdul Hakeem, a wildlife official.
“The leopard was transported to the zoo, where it will be kept under observation and released back into the forests after a couple of days,” said Dr Hakeem.
According to official data, 224 people in India were killed in the last five years by tigers.
India is home to 70% of tigers in the world.
