Mumbai Metropolitan Region's forest department is monitoring a four-year-old leopard released into the wild on December 25 with a GPS-enabled radio collar. The leopard had previously entered a residential building in Bhayander on December 19. Officials believe it separated from its mother and mistakenly entered human habitation. The monitoring aims to understand its movement, prevent future human-animal conflicts, and inform decisions on wildlife management. Forest staff and an NGO are tracking the animal, which appears to be stabilizing in its natural habitat.
