With our ever-expanding development, wild animals are left with less and less habitat and are coming into greater contact with humans. This, usually, can lead to trouble.But in Borivali, Mumbai, things are taking a different turn. Leopards and humans are co-exist without facing any major trouble. Yes, there are the odd inidents but L5, a female leopard at Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) in Borivali, is most frequently captured by cameras. It’s almost as if they have got used to humans and adapted to find a way to co-exist.
A survey by the Wildlife Institute of India (WWI) and SGNP has revealed that there ar e 35 leopards in the 140 sq km area, including the national park and Aarey colony.
