Over the past six months, Mumbai’s Sanjay Gandhi National Park has nurtured two frail leopard cubs found abandoned by their mother in a sugarcane farm into healthy, active big cats. At a time when a large number of leopard deaths have been reported and also in the face of India’s shrinking leopard numbers according to a 2015 nationwide leopard census, park authorities are especially happy at the outcome of this endeavor considering past attempts at raising abandoned cubs have resulted in failure.
