<p>A six-year-old male leopard was rescued from an abandoned house near an abandoned quarrying site in Gulugunjanahalli, abutting Kengeri on Sunday</p>.<p>. <br /><br />The leopard is now being treated at the Bannerghatta Biological Park (BBP) Rescue Centre. <br /><br />The carnivore was found holed up in the house. Since the door is always locked, the leopard might have gained entry into the house through a broken window and was unable to escape. Local residents called up the park officials around 4 pm and took 20 minutes to dart and cage the carnivore. <br /><br />The officials said that since the leopard was locked behind the closed doors, in the absence of a crowd and the house being located in a deserted place, made it easy to trap the leopard. No casualties were reported. <br /><br />Dr Arun A Sha, veterinary director of Wildlife SOS, who is treating the leopard, said: “The animal is healthy, with all its canines and claws intact. It has a severe injury on its left paw, which needs immediate medical attention. It will take around two weeks for the wounds to heel.”<br /></p>
