The elusive black leopard of the BRT Tiger Reserve, which was first documented nearly two years ago by the Forest Department, has made its appearance again.
The black leopard was first camera trapped in August 2020 by the forest department and has now reappeared in the camera traps set by Sanjay Gubbi and his team of Holématthi Nature Foundation in BRT Tiger Reserve.
Incidentally, this male black leopard was also camera trapped in the adjoining PG Palya Range of MM Hills Wildlife Sanctuary in December 2020. It was identified by the rosette patterns on its body and is estimated to be about six years old.
