In the past decade, many Indian states have reported an increase in leopard (Panthera pardus fusca) populations outside forests, in certain areas, accompanied by a large number of attacks on people. This high density was attributed to declining natural habitats and prey species, and the increased survival of leopards in croplands where they preyed on tended, as well as feral domestic animals.
