A panther that escaped from Ramgarh Tiger Reserve became lodged in an iron fence in Mohanpura village, Bundi. A specialist team from Ranthambore arrived and safely tranquilized and extracted the animal, which is now undergoing medical checks.
A panther that had slipped out of the Ramgarh Tiger Reserve was found stuck in an iron fencing surrounding a farm in Mohanpura, a village in Bundi district of Rajasthan. The animal became entangled while attempting to cross the field, leaving it unable to move freely.
Forest officials quickly alerted a rescue unit based in Ranthambore National Park. The team reached the site within a few hours and, after assessing the situation, used a tranquilizer to calm the panther before carefully cutting the fence to free it.
The panther was extracted without further injury and handed over to veterinary staff. It has been taken to a wildlife medical facility for a thorough health examination and treatment of any wounds sustained during the incident.
Authorities said the incident underscores the need for better fencing around agricultural lands near wildlife corridors. They will review preventive measures to avoid similar entrapments in the future.
