BEWARE! Rogue Cow Pushing Leopards In Mumbaikers Faces.

Yesterday's Mumbai Newsline ran a front page headline 'Spot of Trouble' about an injured leopard that left its home in the Sanjay Gandhi National Park and strayed into northern Mumbai suburb slum of Kandivli. The Leopard attacked one guy then went for a snooze under an auto-rickshaw (tuk-tuk). An onlooker then saw the second attack unfold as a lady was injured on her way to morning ablutions:

“It then came in the main alley and started growling but did not attack anyone. A cow pushed the animal against her face,” said local resident Jeetu Singh.(Quote)

The article then goes on to say how the leopard was successfully sedated and its injuries may prevent it from ever being reintroduced to the wild. No mention of the cow though. I will be on my highest alert now when travelling around the city, looking out for rogue cows attempting to push dangerous animals against my face.
