Numerous leopards and panthers have been spotted in Murree’s jungles in recent days.

The increasing number of these encounters is attributed by conservationists to habitat fragmentation, poaching, declining numbers of wild prey, and retaliatory killings, which are frequently brought on by leopards preying on cattle.
Although leopards are occasionally murdered for their pelts, most killings are retaliation for lost cattle or infrequent human attacks.
